Hi,

looking at the three top-level excalibur instrument projects - instrument, instrument-client, instrument-manager - it seems they could
do with a bit of a consolidation, as follows:


- have a single top-level excalibur instrument project with the subprojects:
        - api
        - impl
        - http
        - altrmi
        - client

- api would contain what is currently in instrument and instrument-manager/spi projects, under the pacakge
org.apache.excalibur.instrument
I don't really understand the rationale for the spi subproject,
as it the org.apache.excalibur.instrument.manager.interfaces package
contains a mix of interfaces, classes and utils.
Perhaps I'm missing something. Can somebody shed some light?


- the other subprojects would be as the are now, simply moved to a new
filestructure that would allow to build the instrument related
jars in a single multiproject command.

Also, the maven groupId for these artifacts already reflects this structure - being excalibur-instrument.

As for back-compatibility, my understanding is that 1.2 has not been
released yet.  Is that correct?  Anybody know of current users of 1.2?

On a more general note, I'd like to move towards a version convention that uses -dev postfix for any version in current development and
set exact version only for realeased versions.


Thoughts?

Cheers
