Hey Ivo, Essentially I don't think this is a board-level issue, although I don't mind discussing this the next time the board has a meeting. On the structural side, I am not in favor of this type of projects in Amdatu because it creates a very high level of interdependency and functional cohesion in an otherwise clean component/services setup. Furthermore the presence of a non-functional oriented subproject in Amdatu runs a very high risk of becoming a place where all bad designed code with an infrastructural background. I therefore am not directly supportive of this project…

There are several generic components in Amdatu which do not belong to an existing (sub)project and are or could be used by several (sub)projects. Examples are the REST doclet (generates REST documentation for JAX-RS annotated services), the performance test framework (which currently does not belong to any of the subprojects), the Amdatu maven plugin (moved to GIT but not released with the platform) and some utility classes used by integration tests (currently copy/pasted over three subprojects). Our proposal is to create a new subproject ‘Amdatu Tooling’ which hosts these generic components. We noticed that all components provide tooling for Amdatu developers, hence this name. For the new subproject we would like to create one new JIRA project. From this subproject, the artifacts contained by it will be released individually. If the board approves, I will create the new subproject, create a new GIT repo and move the REST doclet to it. So @Board; wdyt?
