When using the Scaffold wizards, the selection panel for JPA or Bean artifacts doesn't show artifacts that are in dependency projects. In an several different applications that work with the same artifacts, it would seem normal to have those artifacts in a central library project. So when I create a web application project, I make it dependent on another project which contains all of the artifacts. When I try to use Scaffolding and it pulls up the panel to select which artifacts I'm going to use, it should be able to see and list the compatible artifacts that are in the dependent project.
