Hi All, Currently there is a folder named 'amdatu-libraries' which contains some utility services/helper classes. Issue http://jira.amdatu.org/jira/browse/AMDATU-264 states that the utilities library should be removed. I think we have to agree upon how to deal with these kind of generic services/utility classes. While developing the amdatu gadget container demo, I encountered more of these generic services/utility classes.
A small evaluation of generic services/helper classes: * Fsstorage classes (currently contained by amdatu-libraries) - Base and utility classes for components that use simple filesystem storage * Utility services (currently contained by amdatu-libraries) - Contains all kind of utility methods, like the ServiceDependentActivator, the AtomSyndicationLink, XML utilities and some unit test helper classes. * Warsupport (currently contained by amdatu-libraries) - Supporting classes for the Amdatu WAR assembly * Performance test framework (used by the subprojects) * Dashboard plugin (currently contained by OpenSocial, but since the plugin can also be used without OpenSocial, this might not be the right location) * REST doclet (which I created to automatically generate online documentation from REST services by introspecting the code and javadoc) * Email service (used by the gadget container demo) And then we have more artifacts in the trunk which are not officially part of platform or any subproject, like; * Amdatu-maven-plugin * Amdatu-release * Amdatu-release-demo * Amdat-parent * etc/checkstyle I don't think all these artifacts should be contained by a single 'misc' project with just one release cycle; these artifacts are all independent artifacts which should be released separately. I suggest we move all these artifacts to a new folder named something like 'amdatu-utils', where each artifact has its own version, lifecycle and owner. I noticed that the Felix project has something similar; 'Felix Utils'.
