I've just committed a bunch of updates to the excaliburt/assembly package. These deal with the refactoring of the assembly system. In the current implementation the org.apache.excalibur.merlin.assembly package contains a TypeManager and ContainerManager. Colectively these classes are rather large because they include a lot of the assembly and lifestyle/lifecycle establishment logic.
I've been working on seperating this out.
The intermidate result of that is the classes in the org.apache.excalibur.assembly.* packages. These clases define seperate managers for the Service, Type, Profile, and Appliance abstractions. They are not complete but they will give everyone a good idea of the direction I'm heading. The classes are not in use within Merlin at the moment - I'll work on that progressively and I can't afford to break Merlin in the process of refactoring. Anyhow, I'm committed the resources so that people of the user and dev community can jump in at this early stage with suggests, comments critique, etc.
Cheers, Steve.
