No problem, let me try a second time:
Ralph made a proposal [1] where exactly one block (= directory) per
block (= block in the narrower sense) exists, but with many modules
(in the maven sense) in them:
/src
/blocks
/cforms
/api
pom.xml
/impl
pom.xml
/samples
pom.xml
/test
pom.xml
This holds together all parts of one block, but provides still the
possibility to separate them.
This structure has several advantages, some of which I enumerated
before. While the whole "block" is held together within one
subdirectory (which makes it easy to deal with) its seperate facets can
easily be broken into separate artifacts. In the case above you would
have cforms-api-x.y.z.jar, cforms-impl-a.b.c.jar, and
cforms-samples.n.m.n.jar.
If you don't want to go through the trouble of splitting up blocks
between api and impl then just put the non-test and non-sample stuff
into the impl module. The api can easily be extracted later.
Hope this makes it more clear,
Jörg
