I don't like it at all. I like having the java code in it's own module
so that I can check it out directly into my java tree - otherwise you
have to mess with symlinks (I'm on a mission of finding whoever started
the practice of setting the classpath variable explicitely for every
single java package installed and removing their medulla oblongata
through their eyesockets with a rusty hedgecutter).

Also, I don't see the point of checking in compiled javadocs, and
especially binary class files, into cvs. CVS is lousy as a FTP system -
there are much better ways to make builds available. Keeping the class
and java files in seperate directories is also very annoying if you want
to keep one java software tree (please note: replying "set classpath to
both dirs" may put your lower brainstem in danger of frontal
extraction).

One java tree, one java tree, one java tree.

This otoh is a good idea. It should be "freenet".
