Hello, As discussed this monday, the board is not in favor about this proposal for a generic name where all kinds of code can be placed. Code categories like 'commons', 'generic', 'tools', 'other' or 'misc' have a tendency to grow into a chaos category; unmanaged, unfocused code that has no clear live cycle, vision, roadmap or goal which can lead to 'abandonware'. It doesn't fit a component based architecture, where every component is reusable and has a clear purpose.
We would like to see deeper research about what exactly the problem behind this proposal is. A review per proposed component, and see what solutions are available for example. We expect a choice (per component) which can be either to remove the component, reuse it from another open source project or move it in one of the existing Amdatu projects. A last resort (because of focus and limited resources) could be to create a new Amdatu project for a specific component, this needs to be agreed upon by the board of course.

This is not forgotten, we simply don’t have had time yet to discuss this. We will discuss this probably on Monday.

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?
