Got it... impl-mc is for the MC specific stuff like parsing XML and whatnot, impl-base is for basic lifecycle sequence. The Wiki documentation I'll be posting this week will very clearly delineate the purpose of each project, but yeah, that's about it. spi/impl-base defines a "Server" as "just some thing that has a simple lifecycle". spi-mc extends this to tie into the Microcontainer Kernel/Controller. And spi-as brings in all the AS-specific constructs/configuration. The goal is for many AS subprojects to use spi-mc directly to create their own slim/custom runtimes for testing, and then these may be consumed entirely by AS later.

I'll have to see if IDEA can make patches with a directory different from the base of the project. I'm using boostrap/trunk as the base. patchBaseDir$>patch -p < /location/to/patch ...assuming you're on *nix. But in the future I'll base off "trunk", N/P.

"pgmjsd" wrote : * I'm not sure about the "package per jira issue" convention. But hey... if that's how you wanna roll. This is something we'd adopted with some success in EJB3. Basically the JIRA-issue namespace allows us to be very clear about which classes are used in which tests. For shared/common stuff, the ".jbbootXX" package isn't necessary, but in some cases its convenient to show the isolation. I'm not going to enforce any hard-and-fast rules here. So long as everything is tested in readable/obvious form, do what makes most sense to you. "pgmjsd" wrote : I have eclipse, but I prefer IDEA. I've already made templates for the license and such for IDEA. Great. Whatever IDE you prefer is your choice; I'm just best equipped to help you out on Eclipse.

I pre-date the shiny new contributor sign up web application. ;) Let's get you logged into the new webapp; it'll make the .org team proud. :) Then I can expedite your application.
