Added two new plugins for
refactoring views into the core:
- structurer

Recent changes to views with using jxtg as core component
made the old view plugins unusable (FOR-675)
which can not longer stay like this.

I recommend to rollback:
- org.apache.forrest.plugin.internal.view
- org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.viewHelper.xhtml
to revision -r280939 and then commit them back as views head.


Why can't we just roll back trunk to a stable version, and move the views/xhtml2 work to a new branch? I think thats much neater, and easier both on devs and users alike. People can hack away on the views/xhtml2 branch without having to worry about breaking trunk for someone.


+1

In fact this is exactly what we agreed in the IRC session:

Sep 19 11:17:31 <tscherler> - we should get the xhtml2 and view internal together Sep 19 11:18:03 <tscherler> - xhtml2 should be merged into the internal views stuff, simply replace the docuemnt2html part
Sep 19 11:18:42 <tscherler>       - x2 plugin should provide xdocs2x2 convertion
Sep 19 11:19:17 <tscherler>       - views should work with x2 input
Sep 19 11:21:15 <tscherler>       - we need to write a x2 to xhtml plugin
Sep 19 11:21:52 <tscherler>       that should be basically a bunch of contracts
Sep 19 11:22:19 <tscherler>       roadmap:
Sep 19 11:22:31 <tscherler>       1) create new branch
Sep 19 11:22:48 <tscherler>       2) move view stuff and x2 stuff into core
Sep 19 11:23:10 <tscherler>       3) resolving by both only allowed through lm
Sep 19 11:23:37 <tscherler>       4) create xdocs2x2 plugin
Sep 19 11:24:10 <tscherler>       5) create x2 to xhtml plugin
Sep 19 11:24:41 <tscherler>       in this branch all skins are removed
Sep 19 11:24:52 <tscherler>       only view is supported
Sep 19 11:25:19 <tscherler>       skin pipes are to be refactored to output 
xhtml2
