Debug/development mode control
------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-3159
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3159
             Project: Seam
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Tools
            Reporter: Pete Muir
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 2.1.0.BETA2


Currently we have a very overloaded system which is hard to use:

1) debug flag is used to control parsing of hot-deploy (/dev) which is odd
2) to view the debug page at all you must both include jboss-seam-debug.jar and enable debug mode in components.xml. Further, if you do this, then the debug page handler is installed, which screws with the exception handling.

I propose that by simply including jboss-seam-debug.jar you get

1) hot deployment enabled
2) use of the debug page by calling /debug.seam BUT not as a redirect off the exception handler

and, further, by 

<exception:exceptions enable-debug-page="true" /> (better ideas for attribute name?)

you can automagically redirect to the debug page when an exception occurs. The default for this is false, and this should be set in seam-gen (the seam-gen app should include a link to debug.seam in perhaps its footer)
