I have craeted a Seam Project that is deployed as an EAR file. Several weeks of development time has gone by and I have been publishing the ear project to my JBoss Server instance with only one issue.

issue#1: When publishing the EAR project I find that none of the <ear project>/EarContent/*.<any archive> will get deployed. XML's, any Drools and the Descriptors get deployed but none of the Ear library files get deployed.

Continuing to my problem. After some development time I created a JCA 1.5 Connector project to use with in my Seam Project. During the JCA project creation I did notice that the wizard had some troubles with the ear selection portion. What I would see is that even though I selected the ear checkbox the ear drop down list would not activate as in it stayed disabled. Unchecking an checking a second time would enable the list. I selected my ear and used JCA 1.5 and Java 5.0 as my only 2 facets and clicked finished. The Project was successfully created and the ear descriptor files were correctly updated.

issue#2: While checking the new JCA's properties I noticed that I could not see any Targeted Runtimes and when checking "Show all runtimes" the correct ear Runtime shows up in the list but I can not select it as for it is disabled and gives the facet warning text at the bottom. Also with in the Build Properties the Server Runtime is not added either and I had to add it manually.

After all is said and done, when I go to "publish" the ear project using the JBoss Server View every thing that is in my ear gets deployed excpect the JCA project and of course the issue#1 I mentioned earlier. While using the "Export..." tool I can successfully export the entire ear archive to the JBoss Server with out any problems.
