whither sandbox

[Doug Cutting]

So, now that we've got the sandbox in the same source tree let's decide 
what we want to do with it.  I have previously argued that we should 
make sure that sandbox code should be tagged and released in parallel 
with core code (http://tinyurl.com/5d6tx).  Now that should be easy. 
But how should we do it?

Here's my proposal:
  1. Move sandbox/contributions to src/contrib;
  2. Change build.xml to build, test & package sandbox packages too.
  3. Change sandbox build.xml's to build in a top-level build/contrib 
directory, and package into a top-level dist/contrib directory, so that 
no files are written in src/contrib.

Once this is done, then:
 "ant compile" will compile all core and contributed code, building 
something like:

    build/
      classes/  -- core classes
      contrib/
        highlighter/ -- highlighter classes
        ...
 "ant test" will test all core and contributed code
 "ant dist" will create something like:
      dist/
        lucene-XX.tar.gz
        lucene-XX.zip
        contrib/
          highligher-XX.tar.gz
          ...
And so on.
Does this sound like a good plan?
