Randall Hauch resolved DNA-191.
-------------------------------

    Resolution: Done


Moved the subprojects into the 'extensions' folder, and verified through a build.  Also removed the "sequencers" and "connectors" folders.

I just committed the changes to move all of the connectors and sequencers (and "dna-maven-classloader") subprojects into the "extensions" folder.  Please be advised that the Maven builds are not affected (since the POM files are already updated), but that any IDE environment that relies upon the folders will need to be changed/corrected.

By the way, I also renamed the "dna-maven-classloader" project to "dna-classloader-maven" (notice the reversal of the last two words).  It's a minor change, but now its consistent with the other project names.  I thought it's better correct that sooner than later.  Please be aware of this change in your IDE, too.  And I might suggest removing the "~/.m2/repository/org/jboss/dna/dna-maven-classloader" folder from your local machine, too, since doing so would help ensure you don't accidentally use the old version.

Thanks for putting up with this restructuring.  I think it's worth the small amount of effort to get it the way we want it.

> DNA 0.1 introduced the concept of a sequencer, and we created a "sequencers" folder (under trunk) where we've been putting the projects that provide sequencer implementations.  With DNA 0.2, we've also introduced the concept of a connector and - not surprisingly - placed all of the connector implementations in projects under a "connectors" folder (under trunk).  Recently we introduced a third kind of extension point: the MIME type detector.  We currently have only one implementation, but there certainly is the possibility that we'll have more.  And really, the "dna-maven-classloader" is another type of extension.
> But three different types of "extensions" doth make a pattern, and I wouldn't be surprised if we have more.  Rather than have different folders under trunk for these different types of extensions, I'd like to make a single "extensions" folder (under trunk) and move all sequencer, connector, MIME type detector, and Maven class loader projects into that one folder.  The project naming convention helps keep things clearly identified, all of these extensions really are optional (easier to describe in the documentation), we'll simplify the directory organization, and it will make it easier if any extension project wants to provide more than one type of extension (say, a detector AND a sequencer).
> Pinging the dna-dev@ list to see when might be a good time to schedule this.
