Hi,

In order to implement http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/ 
XTSHAREDTESTS-12 I need to solve a cyclic dependency it creates:
org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-url -->  
com.xpn.xwiki.platform.tools:xwiki-shared-tests -->  
org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-container-api -->  
org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-url

I don't see a good solution other than spliting xwiki-core-url into 2  
modules (in order to solve the cyclic dep)
assumptions:
- we need Container in shared tests as otherwise it's going to be a  
pain for all tests
- using reflection in shared tests would mean making sure to have deps  
on container api in all tests modules
- modifying url module to not use shared tests is a bit of a pain and  
not right IMO
- moving XWikiURL to Container API doens't seem right either-
- removing Request.getURL() is not right either and it's used in xwiki- 
action anyway

It could be a good idea anyway to separate all modules into 2: api +  
implementation. However for practical reasons I don't think we'll do  
that, it's too much of a pain and will result in too many jars.
So it's a bit strange to do it for xwiki-url and not for others but  
again I don't see solutions right now....

If nobody shouts I'd like to commit the url module split quickly  
(since I have it done and it's blocking me on some other issue).

Thanks
