The proposed division is:
yoko-spec-corba - this is the org.omg interface classes.
rmi-spec - this is the javax.rmi spec implementation
core - This is the actual ORB implementation.
rmi-impl - This is the implementation of the RMIIIOP support.
These modules are also used by Harmony.
I think the module division is correct, but I wonder if now is the
right time for core to try leaving the incubator.
Probably not a lot has changed since last February [1], when we
found out that nobody here really has a high level overview over
the complete ORB code (please speak up if I misinterpreted that
thread). Can we really support all of the core code? Currently it
seems we're not even ready to review patches from the user
community, like the one in YOKO-413.
My "high level development docs" questions from the
"Documentation / Graduation" thread [2] are also still unanswered,
and they probably can only be answered by the original authors of
the code. Most of those questions are being tracked in JIRA [3].
Note that Alan set their Fix Version to "Incubation" when he
created those issues, so I guess he agrees that high level
development docs are relevant for leaving the incubator.
Lars, we are splitting the project to be housed as sub-projects of
Geronimo and CXF. We are not graduating per se.
However, your concerns are still valid and will become the concerns
of the Geronimo and CXF PMCs.
Regards,
Alan
