Not sure how this works... I would like to merge in the new modularized Spring setup to master. There is info on the wiki about it [1] [2] [3]. The primary change is to break apart the monolithic applicationContext.xml and componentContext.xml files such that each plugin can maintain and contribute its own configuration.
In addition to breaking up the configuration we no longer use ACS custom AOP and it is now fully Spring AOP. Now adding/removing a plug-in is a matter of just adding a jar to the classpath (exception being commands.properties, I'll address that in a different thread). Unfortunately this branch does not have the changes to package things in different RPMs. So it would be great if somebody could take up the packaging effort to split out all the plugins into different RPMs. Darren [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Modularize+Spring [2] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Plug-ins%2C+Modules%2C+and+Extensions [3] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Extensions
