Hi Marcel,

I agree that this is not an ideal situation, but there are currently no 
alternatives. This particular bundle is shared among the subprojects Big Data, 
OpenSocial and Auth. It is not part of these subprojects and has an independent 
release cycle. With removing various 'generic' bundles like this one from the 
platform in the upcoming release, much more of these bundles will arise.
So we need to think about how to deal with bundles like these. I suggest to 
introduce an 'Amdatu Commons' subproject, an umbrella project for generic 
bundles/utilities used by the subprojects but not part of the platform. If such 
a subproject is available, I can move the code from my sandbox to that 
subproject. Until then, it remains in my sandbox.

Regards, Ivo

Subject: Subprojects that depend on sandboxes that have been released?

Hello Ivo,

I was highly surprised today that I could no longer build the trunk of our 
OpenSocial project, even though the Bamboo build works.

After some investigation, it turns out that OpenSocial depends on something 
called org.amdatu.commons:org.amdatu.commons.restdoclet:jar:1.0.3, which has a 
package name that does not seem to belong to any of our subprojects, nor is it 
part of the platform. After browsing around it seems to be in your sandbox: 
http://subversion.amdatu.org/viewvc/amdatu/sandbox/ivol/amdatu-commons/

No project should ever depend on something in someone's sandbox.

The next question was, why does Bamboo not fail. It seems that there were even 
versions released from this sandbox, as can be seen here: 
http://repository.amdatu.org/releases/org/amdatu/commons/org.amdatu.commons.restdoclet/

I don't remember us ever voting on any of those releases, nor did we ever agree 
to even do releases from sandboxes (which makes no sense whatsoever).

Please:
a) immediately remove all releases from that folder;
b) remove all dependencies of OpenSocial on stuff in a sandbox.

Greetings, Marcel
