Dan Allen commented on JBSEAM-2026:
-----------------------------------

I welcome the idea of Maven's archetype plugin becoming more flexible.  The biggest issue right now is that like many Maven features in the past, it ain't ready yet. Therefore, it's not useful yet.

I want to briefly mention (since this is not a forum and we shouldn't be threading opinions) why I don't think Maven is best for our users. First, "ant explode" is extremely fast and that is not something Maven can do because it has to go through its whole life cycle. Plus, Maven does not have built-in support for dual source directories, so doing hot deployment of Java classes is a huge hack. Times will change I am sure, but seam-gen has to stick with what works today and evolve as time goes on.
