That would be great. Theres definetly a high barrier of entry for some components because they have no examples or documentation - some don't even have javadocs ;) > Thoughts how this should be structured?

Well in the near future I had the following in mind. I need to have certain components in excalibur distributable (is that a word?) separately. So if I just want the CLI package I can just grab excalibur-cli-1.0.jar or whatever. Theres a bunch of stuff I have at home I have got to commit up and theres a bunch of stuff that I want to organize better and stabilize and bring into excalibur. I wanted to move this to the commons project but that doesn't really seem viable so I was going to create a separate hierarchy like jakarta-avalon-excalibur\aut\cli\... <insert cli package here> jakarta-avalon-excalibur\aut\io\... <insert io package here> jakarta-avalon-excalibur\aut\tar\... <insert tar package here> jakarta-avalon-excalibur\aut\naming\... <insert naming package here> That way would be much easier to use any of these little components. I was thinking of doing this mid-late feb but if you want to start something like this now then that would be great. You could then put examples in the respective directories such as jakarta-avalon-excalibur\aut\jdbc\examples\example1 jakarta-avalon-excalibur\aut\jdbc\examples\example2 etc This keeps the examples small and relevent to the component - nice and focused and should make maintanence of the whole toolkit much easier.
