The 'keeping more bacward compatibility' motto result in ever increasing 
naming nightmare and ambiguities :-(

A perfect exemple: why is xml-api code from xml-commons stored into a module 
named java/external ? Apart after careful examination of classes files found 
three directories later in src/javax/xml, how can someone deduce he has found 
was he was looking for ? And if it is a distinct subproject, why doesn't it 
have a clear version tag ?
