I'd like to add the Maven "module" structure for my unsupported GPX2
module to the GeoTools SVN. My eventual goal is to get it included in
the Geotools build. I've been building things from my own SVN, but
that isn't much like a good community player. I figure it is time to
learn how to play by the Geotools rules. :]

I read over the section of the developer guide that talks about
setting up a module today. I was about to start setting up the Maven
folder structure on the SVN when I realized we are in the middle of
the transition to the OSGeo infrastructure. Would this be a bad time
to set up my module in the SVN? Should I wait until the transition is
over?

I also had a couple of questions about the module set-up. This page of
the developer guide:

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOT/5.3+Module+Directory+Structure

does not mention the "unsupported" category. However, based on the
structure of the existing SVN, I'm guessing this is the category for
my GPX2 module. So the path to my module would look like this:

modules/unsupported/gpx2

Is that correct?

Also, do I set up the content of the POM xml file, or is that
automatically generated by Maven?

Is there a standard review.apt file for code released under the LGPL?

As you can see, I'm rather lazy and in the need of a good Maven
tutorial. :] Please bear with me as I move from my simple Eclipse/Ant
system to something more complicated like Maven. :]

P.S. - If I set up my module layout and zip it up, would someone be
willing to take a quick look at it before I try to commit it to SVN? I
want to make sure I get it correct.
