[weld-dev] JBoss Web Framework Kit and Seam

[Dan Allen]

Arbi,

Not to say that you don't have some points which are worth considering, but
this (weld-dev, seam-dev) really isn't the right place for discussion about
product offerings. This would be more appropriate on the forums or even on
the more general JBoss forums where people actually have a say in where
these stacks are defined. Because as you pointed out, this has nothing to do
with Seam.

Thanks for understanding.
