I have committed the split metadata now. The details are below.
I'd like
to get feedback from the projects that use it.
Excellent :)
New metadata structure
----------------------
Metadata project (version 1.0.X) has been split into several: common
project + one project per specific technology. The initial version for
all the new projects is 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT. The current list of the projects
is: - common
- EJB
- WEB
- RAR
- EAR
- client
The common one contains stuff which is used by other projects, plus
common Java EE metadata, common JBoss metadata and WS metadata. These
could further be extracted to their own projects if needed.
All technology-specific projects declare dependency on the common project.
Perhaps the common module can be split even more.
I see some classes that are marked as @Deprecated - since this is a 2.0
version these could be moved to a "legacy" module.
Also I think that the common module only should contain the classes actually
needed by the sub-projects - and thereby provide a common core.
I'm thinking about the org.jboss.metadata.javaee.spec and classes in the
top-level org.jboss.metadata package - could be moved to a javaee-spec
module. And there are other examples.
The Tattletale report for the RAR module shows that
org/jboss/metadata/annotation/**
org/jboss/metadata/javaee/support/*
are needed - so those are candidates to stay in the common module IMHO.
