Hi Guys,
Now that we have started on AS8 I would like to clean up JBoss Metadata,
and get rid of some of the legacy stuff that has accumulated over the years.
Basically I would like to branch 7.x for AS7 bug fixes, and start on
version 8.0 in master.
The changes I want to make are basically:
- Run a code formatter over the whole code base, and setup checkstyle rules
- Delete all the dead code, that is no longer relevant
- Flatten some of the inheritance hierarchies that are a relic from the
JAXB parsing days
- Fix or delete the ignored tests
Nothing major, but I just think that it will make the code more
maintainable going forward.
I have made a start here:

Can anyone see any problems with this approach?
If not, I will go ahead with this.
Ok. Just don't remove too much stuff unless 100% certain, removing too
many things usually brings little real value other than causing
headaches later.
