I don't remember anyone suggesting the modularisation as a solution to our problems (at least since I joined JAMES, that is before the problems started anyway ;-) ). I just ran a search about this and only found a message from me on 24 May 2006, titled "Maven2 opinions" [1] including a point #4: "It will allow us to split James in subprojects: mailet-api, mailet-impl, core, smtp, pop3, nntp, fetchmail, mailets, spoolmanager having well-defined dependencies between modules. This will improve the self-documentation provided by james sourcecode (it makes much more clear the modules and the dependencies) and maybe a step towards OSGi bundles." (context: at that time many PMC members liked osgi and I was proposing maven because it was simpler to me and my skills to achieve modularization via this tool instead of ant). I suggest anyone reading that maven2 thread now, it is interesting to see how much I was ignoring others' opinions. The previous reference I can find is from january 2005 (notice it is more than 2 years ago) and it was about "James-NG" [2] that is something that probably was discussed before I joined the team because no one talked about this after that date. Not that proving that it was discussed or not will solve anything now, but I'm very "sensible" to interpretations of the past and I think that my statement was "strictly true" ;-).
