Could someone kindly confirm that seam-gen (and other seam related plug-ins) works in ME GA 5.1?

I tried JBoss Hibernate Tools 3.2.0 beta 8 on top of ME 5.5 M1:
Generating EJB3 annotated pojos or Session EJB DAO’s into ME WEB or EJB projects or running seam-gen worked w/o any problem (still a kludge, though !).

Jean-Michel,
We appreciate you posting your findings.

Jean-Michel,

… (still a kludge, though !)

What do you mean – compared to the work flow of the JBoss IDE in comparision?
Or was it meant in regards to the seam-gen usage?

Thanks in advance,
Frank

I simply meant compared to the real ME way in a future release, for example:
– New > MyEclipse > Enterprise Application Project (EE5 + JPA capabilities: select ME DB connections)
– Define JPA mapping and strategy
– MyEclipse > give Web Beans capabilities (JSR 299 Seam or other, select JSF/Facelets implementation)
– MyEclipse > Web Beans reveng: select the state-of-the-artifacts to generate (or whole app) and Go
Then start on serious work…

Frank: a quick follow-up

Once you have JBoss Hibernate installed (on 5.1 or 5.5), Seam App generation is faily easy to tweak. You just have to modify a single class (SeamExporter in the plugin’s hibernate-tools.jar).
I have a crude ME version of that class, for example, that will reverse engieneer a complete seam app right into a pre-existing standard Me ear application (app, ejb, and war projects: no more ant or moving files around).

btw: my version works, but it can certainly be improved on. If anybody else has done this and is
willing to share, I am interested !
