After a fair amount of trawling around the web for one of my software hut students I stumbled upon this excellent article about installing tomahawk in seam-gen generated projects:

To be honest I thought the RichFaces library included with Seam was pretty comprehensive until today. I’ve been through the self-doubt and approached ICEFaces, but thankfully stepped right back into RichFaces once I realised I didn’t really gain anything. If only RichFaces would provide some comprehensive documentation. The examples on Exadel are excellent for showcasing Seam, but they really do fall short of demonstrating any usability, even for the basic form items.
The Tomahawk tag library adds some particularly useful tags, such as the scheduler, which is an incredibly useful extension to the standard calendar tags but allows insertion of information into the days/months. It also supports nested forms, which is an ongoing battle I’ve been losing with Seam recently!
All I need to do now is get my head around integrated testing!
