Hello

I'm still not sure that heading Castor towards many small projects is
the best way to go...
Never the less - I'll be upload a patch for 2408 that will have the
fragmentmapper  in an own module

I want to state the pros and contras...

Contra is that the Castor users will have a harder time when they have
to decide (and therefor know) the purpose of each module to use it for
their own purpose.
The second contra is not so easily to describe. Lets say we have
reached many small modules... then everyone will work on the small
modules and the complete project will loose its focus. But testing is
currently done for the complete project through two integration test
suites. Those two test suites will also loose focus as only the small
modules are checked out.
The current modules of Castor are built one on top of the other (at
least for the major modules). If we will now check out only one of the
small modules (e.g. XML only) and work on it we might 'destroy' one of
the dependent modules.
The Eclipse configuration - if checking out multiple modules for one
issue - will be harder.

As for the pros:
The thought to work on a small module instead of the complete Castor
trunk is charming.
Local dependencies - managed through Maven - instead of heaving all in
a big project is also nice.

Anyhow - there is no alternative to use modules at all - we should
just be wary to create to many of them.

Regards
Joachim

- hard to know for users which parts of Caster they need
- more modules forces us to work on the small modules instead of the complete
