Re: Mavenization

[Ralph Goers]

I'm not sure how much this helps since I gather not much can be done 
about the osgi jar, or how much maven 2 is better than maven 1 in this, 
but the team I work with had similar problems with a bunch of our 
framework builds. We solved the circularity problems pretty simply by 
splitting up the frameworks into two projects, api and impl.  The api 
just contains interfaces or very simple classes.  We were able to force 
the "lower" level implementations to only be dependent on "higher" level 
apis.  We then used Spring to tie the implementations together at run time.
