Hi all,
The src/core directory was initially created to clearly separate the development of ECM++ and ensure it had no dependencies of other parts of Cocoon.
All went well until we added some fancy features like includes, variable expansion, etc, which led an increasing number of classes to move from src/java to src/core. Having e.g. classes in the o.a.c.environment packages spread over the two directories is somewhat confusing.
What this shows is that although the Cocoon engine has very few dependencies on ECM++, ECM++ has an increasing number of dependencies on the Cocoon engine.
Since we recently added support for other component containers _inside_ ECM++, what is now the real value of src/core? Not much IMO.
So I propose to remove src/core and move all its content to src/java.
WDYT?
