I was reviewing aerogear-android-todo, and noticed some issues
1) Why there is no history on the project? (and consequently, ownership history - passos
contributed code hasn't got attribution)
- even in cases of big rewrites and start-overs, it's nice to keep the commits, as
the history of the incremental changes say a lot about the rationale/train of thought that
lead to the final solution
2) Why aren't we following the maven project layout, as suggested by the archetype we
are using?
3) Why the API and the example app are intermixed?
- Ideally these should be separate repositories, like the iOS version

Really? What's happened? Have we lost our contributions? Weird because at least on
JavaScript, Kris has kept the ownership
https://github.com/aerogear/as-quickstarts/commit/f3fe1aa4274487f71161568...
Why the same is not happening on android? Does anyone need help to do it?
My suggestion is revert it and rebase with our contributions.

Hey guys,
I figured that the Android stuff is sufficiently "prototypish" at this
phase that it wasn't hugely important to keep the history, which is why
I didn't merge over from
https://github.com/gdaniels/android-data/tree/master/android. If we'd
rather have all the individual commits, I can do that (and if so,
merging an entire repo's commits into another one isn't something I've
done before, so I'd love pointers).
I'm not sure what the commit you referenced has to do with it, though,
Bruno?
I'll respond to qmx's other comments in a separate reply.
Thanks,
--Glen

It is vitally important to keep history, especially when multiple contributors are
involved. If its you own prototype and no-one else is involved squash as you wish, but
otherwise it's needed.
That said - we don't need every single commit ;-) Take a look at
http://staging-aerogear.rhcloud.com/docs/guides/GitHubWorkflow/ for scoping/squashing
commits.
I'm not sure what the commit you referenced has to do with it, though,
Bruno?

We're following a simple convention for the Android maven plugin

example at

Definitely! This is mentioned in TODO comments in the code. I wanted
to get the prototype up quickly to link it to
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AEROGEAR-353, and didn't have time to
both merge in the new UI and split out the API jar. Next on my list.

Glen, please rebase it and give the credits to the author.
This is not our common workflow.

A little more context : there wasn't a lot of commit history on my repo,
so I figured preserving it wasn't very important. In particular (since
I think this might be what you're concerned about), the stuff from
Daniel wasn't an explicit contribution with a git history, it was just
my reusing a bunch of code from his prototype. I did point to his repo
in the last commit message on the gdaniels/aerogear-data repo.
If it's attribution you're concerned about, I can simply add a note to
the README, or amend the initial commit message?
Kris just explained on IRC how to overwrite a repo with the contents of
another (via force push) - I'm happy to do that to copy over the commits
from https://github.com/gdaniels/android-data, but it seems like a lot
of work for minimal gain.
So I could:
1) Add acknowledgements to the README or last commit msg
2) Copy over the old repo (add aerogear/aerogear-todo as a remote of
gdaniels/aerogear, then force-push - then move things around a little to
get rid of empty top-level directory)
Thoughts, Bruno and others?
Thanks,

AFAICT, that article just points back to the maven-android-plugin, and
doesn't say anything different about structure. Am I missing something?

correct - also indicating the same layout (see <sourceDirectory /> tag

The link that Matthias provided looks like a good approach for this, what do you think?

Is this captured in jira? It would be very good to get this tracked there.
