Created: (JBSEAM-2338) allow seam-gen to manage multiple projects

allow seam-gen to manage multiple projects
------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-2338
                 URL: http://
jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2338
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Tools
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.GA
            Reporter: Dan Allen
         Assigned To: Dan Allen
             Fix For: 2.0.1.GA


Currently seam-gen only has the ability to manage one
project at a time. This limitation is due to the fact that
it sources build.properties from the seam-gen directory to
read settings about the managed project. I propose that we
make the name of the settings file dynamic so that it is
possible for seam-gen to select it based on the name of a
property supplied to the command line.

Example:

./seam -Dbuild=projecta explode
./seam explode

The first command would source build-projecta.properties.
The second command would fall back to the existing behavior
and source build.properties.

    Attachment: JBSEAM-2338-v1.txt

Sets the property named "properties" to the
location of the build.properties file based on the value of
the property named "build".
Replaced all hardcoded references to build.properties with
$

--------------------------------------

shouldn't seam gen not just have a pointer to the
"current dir" and otherwise just ask for it?

I never understood why seamgen has project specific info in
its build.properties.

-----------------------------------

I see what you are saying. Part of the issue is that the
generated project does not store the settings that were used
by seam-gen in the project itself. I mean, the information
is there, it's just scattered throughout the configuration
files (as it was applied).

To me, this is one of those cases where it is easy to add
the flexibility to what exists, but long term perhaps there
is a bigger design change to be addressed. I don't like to
put small changes behind big ones, so my feeling is let's
give the option to get out of this hole first, then we can
decide how to get the settings out of the seam distribution
directory.

As I make this argument, my thought is shifting...it really
does make sense to get the build.properties file out of the
seam-gen directory. What sucks through is that you are going
to have to enter the whole path to the existing project. Ah,
but we could store "recently opened" projects and
have a menu system to select them by number. All I have to
say to that is *$# Ant. That would be a PITA to implement.

-----------------------------------

I don't understand why we don't store the main
seam-gen.properties in the created project, and then have a
say list of 1-5 recent projects in the properties file in
the seam-gen directory. User can then easily select from the
list or enter a new path.

--------------------------------------

does start with the simple thing first....just store the
default root dir plus projectname and source the pointed to
directory...just need to be specificed in a sepaerate file
to make sure you dont get stuck with possible left over
attributes from existing build.properties.

wont make it worse that it is today and simpler for the
future

makes sense.

..and advantage of having properties inside the project is
that jbosstools eventually will be able to reflect upon them
too!
