I'd suggest to build up the new repo (if we go the Maven way) step by step with a clear modularisation (read individual releasable units) in mind and sketched out in a discussion here. I can think of someone (this includes me, of course) starts moving class by class with the help of an IDE like Eclipse that helps identifing the missing part until a module is compilable. > So when and where do we start on 2.2?
