JBoss Seam Maven Archetype Video Tutorial

While the release of Seam 3 is getting closer, you might still want to do quick prototyping based on a Seam 2 project. Of course this is easiest done with either seam-gen, or if you're like me a Maven user, with an Archetype.

Chris has prepared a video tutorial on how to get started with our Maven WAR archetype (featuring hot deploy, TestNG with embedded JBoss and either RichFaces or ICEFaces inclusion) based on one of my previous articles. Check it out here (best seen in HD [UPDATE: sorry, missed the HD embed]):



Enjoy!
