I'm not completely sure I understand what you're proposing, but here are a couple of points to bear in mind:
I may not understand it either. But I decided I'd like to see it move forward. So...
Regarding CVS vs. SVN. I have zero SVN experience. I'm not opposed to it, but it will be slower for me personally if we go that route, as I'm starting at the bottom of the learning curve. However, the tool is much less important to what I'm trying to achieve than the structuring in preparation for using maven to its fullest.
Regarding the "limitations of Maven's multi-project capabilities," I'm sure there are some, but I'm not sure I'll know what they are until I see them. I've already set up struts-el and struts-chain with project.xml files which extend the Struts base one and it works for those, at least. This is just for building, not necessarily for extended features.
I would agree that we should have a consensus on the top-level structure. After that, I would need to have some real files to work on to make sure that Maven is building correctly, etc.
Regarding the structure:
My understanding was that we had settled on a single module, "struts", under which we would have something like below (mostly lifted from an email from Ted to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list)
struts/ struts/core struts/apps struts/site struts/opt-taglib struts/opt-el struts/opt-faces
etc.
But I'm not married to that. I think a single module is easier for a lot of reasons, and you can partition the space within the module as much as you want so that I don't think you need parallel modules. I don't have a strong opinion about how the module is partitioned. One of the things I need to experiment with is whether it works to have a "site" directory alongside other directories when you go to build the site with Maven. I'm not sure if that'll work or not.
Regarding Martin's suggestion to import the current CVS HEAD into SVN and then move things around... I don't know enough SVN to know if that makes sense or not.
Please speak up with suggestions and opinions...
Joe
