Hi all,

Roy is right in that the directory layout could do with some cleaning
up. A proposal:
jackrabbit/
./api
./commons
./core
./applications
./xdocs
./subprojects
./jcr-rmi
./jcr-server
./orm-persistence
...
./contrib
./examples
./jcr-commands
./jcr-ext
./jcrtaglib
./phpcr
./tck-webapp
./textfilters
./vfs
...
I like the structure.

IDE and tool support
--------------------
It would be nicer for IDEs and various tools if the current main modules
would _not_ extend the top level project.xml. For example at the moment
you cannot just grab jackrabbit/commons and build it. Instead you need
to get the whole Jackrabbit source tree to do this. As the top level
project.xml contains mostly just descriptive information not directly
used in building the sources, I'd propose removing this dependency. It
would remove the contributor and mailing list information from the
module projects, but I think we could manage with having that
information only at the top level.
also makes it easier to include one of the subprojects into another one
with a svn:external.
