I analyzed at fresh head, It's a hard task to remove the circular dependency. We have some dependencies that would be easily to remove (and some introduce by myself I realized by misunderstanding or weakness of mind) and some other that have their own reason. If we want to go on increase the scalability, I search if the effort to scale at each component is coherent with the most-valuable to win. I have on my mind to elaborate a framework-core an acceptable minimal circular dependencies and some other present as three dependency * core : common - base - start - entity - service - security - webapp * entityext : core * datafile: core * testtools: core * catalina: core * widget: core * webtools: widget, testtools, datafile, catalina I know this isn't your final objective but can it be an acceptable spot ?
