Hi All,

I am looking for some advice, so please respond if you have ideas on this topic.

Assuming you are using OODT, or developing OODT, to support a totally different 
project that you are working on in your day job, how do you manage all of your 
OODT files vs. all of your project-specific files?  I am looking for real-life 
examples of how people are configuration managing their files.

I am using the deployed RADiX Archetype, which suggests that I keep my project 
specific files in an 'oodt/extensions' directory.  However, I have also made 
changes to some OODT configuration and policy files such as 
workflow/policy/tasks.xml and workflow/policy/events.xml, etc.

If I wanted to upgrade to a new version of the RADiX Archetype and deploy a new 
release of the RADiX Archetype over top of my current version, then all of my 
changes to the tasks.xml and events.xml files would be lost.

What is your favorite way of managing your OODT installations so that changes 
you have made to the configuration  files and policy files located in each OODT 
application's directory tree are not overwritten?  (Ideally, I wish I could 
keep all of my project-specific and changed files outside of the each OODT 
application directory tree, but it doesn't sound like anyone does this.)

Thanks,

Val

P.S. I have managed large software systems before, but they were different from 
OODT in that
