[Hawkular-dev] Where should integration components live?

[Gary Brown]

I think if all that will remain is a common library, which I guess will be located in hawkular-commons, then it would be better for the integration code to remain with their components.

Although this work may be disruptive and result in changes in multiple repos, I still see the bus as plumbing and it should result in a stable API. Whereas the component code that uses the bus is more likely to change, and therefore it would be easier for the component developers to have their code in one place.

Regards
Gary
