I'm doing the deletions for TUSCANY-3729. One of the modules on the
list to be deleted from the 1.6.1 release is modules/workspace-manager.
It's on this list because it wasn't in the binary distributions for
1.5.1 or 1.6. However it was released to the maven repo for both
these releases and it's not clear to me why it wasn't included in the
binary distributions as well.
This module was created as a result of TUSCANY-3174. From reading the
comments on this JIRA I'm not sure whether or not the code reached a
state of completion and usefulness. There's a working itest for this
module which contains quite a lot of code.
Can anyone clarify whether this module is an abandoned experiment or
something that could be useful to the community?

Hi Simon
I didn't spot this before. It's a set of interfaces that allow you to
fire up Tuscany, add extensions programmatically and then read and
manipulate a collection of contributions (a workspace). It does work
but I don't know that anyone is actually using it. On this basis I
don't mind that it's omitted from the release as long as it's not
removed from the code base.

Thanks for clarifying this. I'm happy either way but I would like
the source distro / maven repo / binary distro to be consistent,
which they aren't at present.
From this explanation it sounds like this is treating a workspace as
something separate from its use within the domain manager. Have I
understood this correctly? What's the user scenario that could take
advantage of this capability?
