[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-2274) Top-level directory tidy-up

[Jason Greene (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-2274?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jason Greene resolved AS7-2274.
-------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: No Release
                       (was: 7.1.0.Final)
       Resolution: Rejected


Unfortunately we ended up being too late in the cycle to really make these changes. The layout of 7 is already expected by the users using it, since it's been out for awhile, so it could potentially create extra hassle. We can look at this again with AS8.

> There is a of stuff in the top-leve directory - much of which, most users will never need to see.
> 0. create a top-level "lib" directory for all static / read-only artifacts - modules, schemas, bundles, welcome-content. It's quite possible that there is a better name than "lib" - but this is consitent with Linux / Unix lib / Library dirs.
> 1. Rename and move <JBOSS-HOME>/docs
> <JBOSS-HOME>/docs contains no docs. it contains schemas and an odd subdirectory with a HornetQ config. I suggest we rename it "schemas" and hide it under "lib". As for examples/configs dir. - is it required by anything ?
> 2. Move app-client under lib - doesn't need to be in the top-level directory
> 3. Move jboss-modules.jar under lib
> This will leave JBOSS-HOME with just :
> README.txt
> copyright.txt
> License.txt
> bin
> domain
> standalone
> Also - any reason README and LICENSE are upper-case but copyright is lower ?
