Bill,
Your plan sounds ok to me (personally I'll be working on cayenne-jpa
module at this time, so my work won't even be affected). We expected
some disruption and now is a good time to do it. I am also against
branching.
One more change that we might do while we are at it - our current
test case classes are using *Tst suffix. Maven (and generally
accepted) naming convention is to use *Test. So we might also change
those.

HI All,
The move to a maven directory layout is going to be disruptive and
I wanted to get everyone's take on how to handle it.
for example;
main/cayenne/cayenne-java/lib - to be removed
main/cayenne/cayenne-java/lib-src - to be removed
main/cayenne/cayenne-java/src/cayenne - to be moved to ..
main/cayenne/cayenne-java/src/cayenne - to be moved to ..
main/cayenne/cayenne-java/src/dvmodeler - to be moved to ..
main/cayenne/cayenne-java/src/modeler - to be moved to ..
main/cayenne/cayenne-java/src/regression - to be moved to their
respective projects?
main/cayenne/cayenne-java/src/tests - moved into their respective
projects?
Then once all the modules are moved there will be similar moves
within each directory, i.e;
main/cayenne/cayenne-java/cayenne/dtd/*.dtd -> main/cayenne/cayenne-
java/cayenne/src/main/resources
main/cayenne/cayenne-java/cayenne/resources/* -> main/cayenne/
cayenne-java/cayenne/src/main/resources
main/cayenne/cayenne-java/cayenne/java -> main/cayenne/cayenne-java/
cayenne/src/main/java
I'm getting started today and hope to be done by late tomorrow with
the first cut (i.e. a build that gets a jar file into a local repo)
that we can build on.
It would be easiest for me to check things in incrementally (i.e.
do one module at a time and check it in) with everyone
understanding that the build will be hosed for a time. This is
probably not the best way for our users but I wanted to get your
take, would it be ok for the build to be hosed for a couple of days
to a week? The other option of course is to branch but then we have
to pull everything up from the main line into the branch. The
Geronimo team went this way and its working OK but its not fun.
Does anyone have any major outstanding changes that will be hard to
merge as a result of these moves? If so can they be checked in now?
Thoughts?
TTFN,
