Hi, I understand we agreed in http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/devs/2012-March/050172.html to stop bundling legacy modules by default. What was not so clear is how we should do this.
I want to remove the modules from XE and Manager, and document the method of downloading them from maven.xwiki.org and replacing the existing .jar files with them. Why: #1. Not removing API is obviously unsustainable in the long term. #2. Replacing core .jar files has been judged to be beyond the scope of the extension manager. Whether we want to support overriding classes using extensions as a "function hooking" mechanism is a possible topic for future discussion. #3. Replacing .jar files in the .war is not an excessively complex task, we ask users to open the war file for configuring a database or adding JDBC connectors, cases where there is much less technical need to require opening the .war file. Here's my +1 to remove it ASAP, for 4.1M2 if we can get the tests passing.
