Patches don't work for moving dirs, IIUC.

This will generally move individual modules from
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/specs/trunk/XXX to
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/specs/XXX/trunk and then
clean up the pom's right?
Yep.
I think it is still a good idea to have them all extend from a parent
pom... there is still stuff that would be good to centralize, but the
parent and the child do not need to exists within the same tree and do
not need to share the same version.
I see no reason for there to be a parent POM. What stuff needs to be
centralized? Can you explain what the phrase "the parent and the child
do not need to exists within the same tree and do not need to share the
same version" means?
I recommend creating a top-level spec-config/trunk/pom.xml that has
all of the common pom configuration... then release it a 1.0, and have
each of the spec pom's extend from that. Spec config will almost
never change (unless we have to change project urls or repos)... but
when we do, its easier to manage in a central place.
The whole point of this change is to get *rid* of the root POM.
I think we eventually need a general project-config module that we can
share with all sub-projects. That module would be part of a
build-support project where our independent custom modules and build
configuration lives.
Why?

We had talked about breaking out the Geronimo specs so that they
don't share the same root pom. There seemed to be a consensus that
this was a good idea. John Sisson mentioned that we might need
separate Jiras for each. I think that that might be excessive given
how the specs jars are unlikely to change.
The nature of this change is that it will not be possible to make a
patch to reflect the changes that need to be done. What I can do is
to concretely express the changes that need to be made in an RTC.
Thoughts?
