I think it belongs in shale/designtime as its own module.
I agree ... and, if I understood you correctly, switching to a Maven build will require not only this, but also splitting up core into separate modules for each deliverable artifact, right? Given that, I don't see the need to create hierarchical Maven projects unless there is some compelling advantage we get on inheriting dependencies from parent poms or something.

Do you forsee us needing to release them separately? I think the single distribution with one version number is less confusing for users. Separate releases are less work individually for release managers (easier to verify, etc.,) but you end up doing more of them.
But we're going to do the separation thing anyway, right, even if we don't release separately? I can certainly see a case for something like the test framework being releasable separately. We tried it briefly for Struts Action, and ended up going back to a
single distribution. The only piece that I can see needing a separate release is shale-test, and even that's not causing a problem right now.
It's not causing a problem now because nobody has asked for a high priority bug fix or feature enhancement, who is not also willing to wait for another Shale omnibus release. Craig, any thoughts on this one? By the way, you can clean up the circular compile dependency stuff now :-). --
