[jboss-dev] Information on JBoss micro-projects and AS modules

[Brian Stansberry]

As discussed at 
http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=146807 I've 
created a wiki page intended to provide information about the many 
"micro-projects" that we've created in the last couple years, 
particularly during all the refactorings related to AS 5.

https://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-13195

I've seeded it with information about the JBoss Common and AS Clustering 
projects. If you're knowledgeable about a particular project, please 
chip in and add an entry for it. Or just send me the intended usage info 
for the project and I can add it. The goal is to:

1) encourage code reuse by providing a quick reference as to what 
libraries are already available that may solve a given problem.
2) help engineers working on projects that consume some of these 
projects to understand the design intent behind the project.

I also created a page with information about the various modules that 
make up the JBoss AS source tree. At this point this page isn't 
particularly useful. Not all modules have explanatory info; just those 
whose exact design intent I totally understood/could express or those 
that seemed simple enough for me to guess. :-) The ones without 
explanatory info are also the ones where some design explanation would 
be most helpful; again please pitch in and add whatever you can.

http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-13196

Perhaps the thinking about the intent of these AS modules will prove 
helpful in the refactorings that will eventually be needed for embedded.
