Hello Radu,

Thanks for the tip. I did not knew that. I have tried it with the full
aggregator and the IDE is quite unresponsive and it's not for lack of
resources. I have SSD drive and 12GB of RAM.

I will try to combine the advice Robert gave and yours and make them
work together but the experience so far is not great.

How are you working on Sling? 


The question that I am looking for an answer is:

Having all of these modules requires some mental effort to navigate,
especially for Sling beginners like me. Does a Sling developer need to
have access to all of them all the time? I imagine the answer is No. I
imagine things are logically grouped into related projects. Instead of
having this flat hierarchy, can we make it more nested? I can identify
some projects like: sling-discovery, sling-models, sling-launchpad,
sling-karaf, sling-scripting, sling-auth , etc.

I believe grouping those modules with git-repo (and not git submodules)
would be an improvement in being easy to work on specific area of Sling
functionality.

I imagine that working on Sling Karaf or Sling Scripting does not
require me to update Sling API at the same time. Even if that was the
case, I would still have to get through the community to discuss/approve
the changes to the lower level API.

Having those modules grouped by logical functionality into directories,
I (a developer) can open just that part of Sling and not be bothered
with the rest of the project. I think it reduces the mental effort that
I have to deal with and does not lose flexibility.


Regards,

Eugen
