[infinispan-dev] merging all the github projects back?

[Dan Berindei]

When it comes to IDEs, I'd rather remove some more modules from the main
project in order to make it more responsive and easier to use. Launching a
test from IntelliJ takes minutes to build (or parse, or analyze, or
whatever) everything, when it works. Extra dependencies on old versions in
the compatibility modules broke the "Analyze stacktrace" feature, which
used to be very nice for analyzing logs.

I'd argue that having the cache store builds break in CI actually serves as
a warning that we are breaking the API/SPI for our users. I don't think
making API/SPI breakage easier should be the goal of our setup.
