I am trying to extract some stuff related to parsing from 
picketlink/federation to new picketlink/xml-config module. However there 
are some related problems as some classes referenced from those needs to 
import other classes etc.

So I am thinking also about creating some common module (like 
picketlink/common) which will contains some common util classes needed 
by all other picketlink projects. Typical example of such class could be 
org.picketlink.identity.federation.core.util.StringUtil , which contains 
some very common utils for working with strings . What do you think?
