I misspoke regarding seam-core :-(
I really mean depending on any other seam classes in other modules
( including 299). If we are going to migrate some RichFaces
components to seam-ui. I just want to make sure we don't end up
requiring users to include X # of seam modules, and/or 299.
iirc - I think we were discussing some of the bean validation code.
We should discuss other components as well.
Ok, well we can add extra rules to this module:
* no non-optional dependencies on other jars (must be self contained)
* bean validation must have no deps outside BV api
I think it would be sensible to add a short contract.txt to each
module to include these requirements. Shane, could you add these?
