On the other side I think that who *does* stuff have a special choice on
how to do this, so I'm +1 *if* you'll take care of this.
a reorganisation along these lines would be build system agnostic: the
standard modules would be laid out using the standard jakarta
conventions upon which maven was based, the deployment module(s) would
use the current trunk layout.
I fully agree! And this explain my +1 ;-)
(I'm not +1, but -0, on a general choice for ant based multi-module
build system: I still prefer maven2, expecially for a multi-module build)
IMO it's best to separate choice of build system from modularization.
ant 1.7 is good at multi module builds and so is maven 2 (early
versions of both systems had their flaws). the module code should not
need major reorganisation to switch from ant to maven but ant would
still be the primary build system for james.

I agree that build system choice is a religious issue, like many other
technology choices. I don't know ant 1.7, so looking at your work I will
also learn something new. And if I won't like at all the ant stuff
(unlikely) be sure I will make a concrete proposal for maven2 ;-)
