I don't think we've been specific enough about what goes where for
jason's proposal to make sense yet, as gianni points out.
I'm sure we don't want all 100K artifacts we produce all under
o.a.g or o.a.g.server
I was assuming that o.a.g.server would basically have the kernel
and system stuff in it and little else -- maybe some basic naming
support.
then e.g. o.a.g.connector would have connector, transaction, jpa,
connector-builder, persistence builder in it with the appropriate
configs as well
Folks, don't get a head of yourselves... there are a few different
issues here.
One of them is the groupId for that we have now with the structure we
have now. I believe that we should change the base groupId to
org.apache.geroniom.server to match to svn module. This can be done
now, or soon, and should probably be done at the same time when the
plugins groupId is changed.
Everything else is related to large scale restructuring of the
project, the above has nothing to do with restructuring. I have sent
email about this before, though we've never come to any conclusions
about how to resolve it. And... right now I don't think we need to
come to any conclusions, as I don't think we are ready to start on
this work yet.
That way no group would be too large to understand at once.
However I think it might still be good to have some easy way to
distinguish the code subprojects from the car/module subprojects
and I'm not sure how to do that well yet. Right now there are 2
indications: whether the artifact ends up in modules or configs,
and whether it starts with "geronimo-" or ends with .car.
Sure, we need to solve this problem. I'm not sure what the best
solution is, though for the g1.1-amq4 stuff I simply suffixed the car
modules with "-config":
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/sandbox/g1.1-activemq4/
I hope we can eventually get the server/trunk tree organized so that
features, like amq, can be organized into directories like this one,
where all (or most) of the modules are all peers like this.
