Hi Jacques My concern is about the proper use of the specialpurpose folder. Birt is IMO not a special purpose application, but rather a tool that can be used across applications, and so is Lucene. Additionally, these are optional functionalities and therefore non-core. My thinking is that if something is optional, non-core and not a special implementation of the framework, then it should go into this folder. So I agree that BIRT and Lucene are candidates for inclusion in this folder (my knowledge of OAGIS is sketchy at best). BTW I'm not to sure about calling it "Tools". "Plugins" is the term that is widely used for this sort of thing.
