[gatein-dev] GateIn packaging evolution : packaging-new to be used tomorrow

[Dimitri BAELI]

Hello,
   To ease the management of the packaging configuration I've commited a new
version of it : packaging-new (not yet plugged in the maven reactor, but
usable).
   The goal of it is to reduce step by step the need of changes in those
packaging files (.js).
   This work is related to GTNPORTAL-24

   Packaging-new:
     * Versions are now collected from the gatein-parent pom (the
properties), so no more need to update any .js file for our daily
components. (dependencies versions still to be managed for the moment).
     * .js files of JCR/Core/Kernel/WS are attached to those products and
downloaded as maven dependencies, so the management of those files will be
done in the EXOJCR project

   This packaging we'll be needed as soon as we use the new
JCR/Core/Kernel/Ws tags that are beeing prepared for tomorrow by the JCR
Team

    What's next (for Beta2):
    * Add some new packaging features to create standalone ear for customer
applications (upcoming work).

    What's next (after Beta2):
    * Find a way to use pom.xml file instead of modules.js
    * Have the exopackage turned into a maven plugin coded in Java, and
integrated in GateIn for an easier management
