Can we shift the new stuff up one level, having it in trunk/modules/ 
trunk is weird ;-)

Let's leave all the legacy stuff (build, bootstrap, random scripts,  
eclipse project info) in trunk for now.

Common should start empty and we can move code from the old seam core  
bit by bit.

Personally, I would start all modules empty - it saves on having to  
apply updates to trunk and the 2.1 branch for now (until it is  
actually ported).

We should use maven to build example artifacts too probably, and use  
ant for the deployment.

How do you mean? What will break?

Ondrej, can you take care of this?

bpm will be done for Web Beans. All major features should be in their  
own module. There is no Seam "core" anymore.
