[jboss-as7-dev] Moving EJB3 code into the AS7 source tree

Hi Guys,

While looking at some EJB3 stuff I began to wonder just how much stuff from the JBoss EJB3 maven artefacts we actually use. Even though there is a lot of artefacts, it turns out that we use around 75 classes from EJB3, and more than half of them are timer service related (It looks like a lot of the stuff in the EJB3 package is either legacy stuff that is just hanging around).  

Given that the majority of the actual EJB logic / implementation is in the AS modules (in the EJB and EE modules), I was wondering if it would be worth merging the whole of EJB into AS7 and dumping the EJB3 aggregator project altogether. 

I have a branch that does this here (although this branch has not migrated any tests yet):

https://github.com/stuartwdouglas/jboss-as/tree/remove

Personally I think this would make it much easier to refactor, and would also allow us to remove some adaptor classes between AS7 and EJB3 (e.g. AS7 has to sub class the EJB3 interceptors, rather than EJB3 providing real jboss invocation interceptors).
