[jbosstools-dev] Any interest in splitting 'common' module up?

Hey All: I'm just trying to get the ball moving on a possible breakup of the 'common' module. Common is currently FULL of all sorts of different stuff. It has 23 plugins, 10 tests, and 13 features. Since we've just finished a major release, now is the time to discuss reorganizations. I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes. Even fi I don't end up doing the work, it's at least time to open the discussion. Common simply has too many different things all bundled together, and a lot of them aren't "common" ;) I tried to make an image of what all depends on what with regards to common, even going so far as to show what the different common plugins depend on, but that image was just too crowded, too many nodes. So for now I've made a more simple one of just INSIDE common. Hopefully we can split things out into things that are truly common and many other plugins might use, vs stuff that's a little less common. Attached is an image showing common's current interdependencies. Direct dependencies supplied by other plugins are not shown, to help make the graph easier to understand. (ex: org.jboss.tools.common.ui depends on o.j.t.common, but since o.j.t.c.ui depends on o.j.t.c.text.xml, that direct link is not shown.) Hopefully this graph will help us ask other questions, for example WHY does o.j.t.common.ui depend on o.j.t.c.text.xml, and would the code that is in common.ui be more appropriate to live in o.j.t.c.text.xml instead? Anyway, we can at least start the discussion. Image attached.
