what is annotations-commons ? Just commons ?

> HibernateExt/annotations-commons
> HibernateExt/jpa/annotations (old /metadata)
> HibernateExt/jpa/entityManager (old /ejb)
> HibernateExt/search
> HibernateExt/validator

Why the extra level ?

fine by me IFF (especially) hibernate core and the other modules
could get some shared build stuff and/or proper dependency management
so we don't repeat our self constantly in all those build files.

I guess your most important immediate need is to have separated  
search/validator from annotations
and for that just doing the first split should be trivial since that is  
what we can do today
"painlessly"

svn copy your stuff to the correct places i assume.

same as hibernate tools I assume; why does this prevent having the same  
structure ?
