I'm for both minimal and maximal archetype, minimal for those who already know what they want and how to use it. maximal for those wanting to try or evaluate the framework.
there definitely are users that haven't tried spring or hibernate (or had hibernate, but not hiberante annotations) many things can go wrong when you try a new framework, and inevitably try to do thing in way not meant to be done for that particular framework.

To me it seems obvious that this would be a win in T5 popularity, it makes it more a rails-like framework and nowadays this is a top word in the web app development, but i cannot evaluate the effort needed achieving this. It's true that deleting thing is much easier then adding (at least in the correct way) but having a bunch of stuff which you don't actually need (hibernate or spring or upload or what else will come out) and having to delete it without conscience can cause you the same trouble as to have to add them. You've to know how it works. T5 is already doing a great job in making it easy to add a 'feature', just drop the jar in and you're fine, plus if the jar need some configuration it needs for the external libraries it is integrating within T5 not for itself, so basically it is the same of saying: Here are you're needed libraries, configure as you wish. And it seems obvious that if i want to use Hibernate or Spring or what else I've to know how it works and how to configure it. That to say that the current behaviour of T5 modules with the doc is enough for me, if the effort of building the "maximal template" could be directed somewhere else ;) -- Massimo http://meridio.blogspot.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
