Isn't it a good time to normalize classlib/trunk repository structure and update "Apache Harmony Contribution Policy" document (http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/contribution_policy.html) while we got small number of modules?
Here is what I mean... 1. There is classlib/trunk/native-src directory. README says: "native-src contains native source files only". So it looks like correct place for ALL the native sources. If so why we got native sources in classlib/trunk/modules/security2/src/linux/other/? And why we got additional java subdirectory in every main directory? I think that we should store native sources under modules directory with all other module sources. modules/modulename/src/main/native looks like a good place for this. It will make looking for module sources much easier. 2. It's not clear where the system specific java sources should be stored. I think modules/modulename/src/linux and modules/modulename/src/windows will be a good place. 3. It's not clear what should be placed in modules/modulename/src/main directory. Main sources? What is main sources? May be it's system independent sources? If so may be common it better name for this directory? So I suggest the following structure for sources: classlib/trunk/modules/modulename/src/ - all the sources for "modulename" are here. classlib/trunk/modules/modulename/src/common - all the system independent sources are here classlib/trunk/modules/modulename/src/common/java - common java sources classlib/trunk/modules/modulename/src/common/native - common native sources classlib/trunk/modules/modulename/src/linux/java - linux specific java sources classlib/trunk/modules/modulename/src/linux/native - linux specific native sources classlib/trunk/modules/modulename/src/windows/java - windows specific java sources classlib/trunk/modules/modulename/src/windows/native - windows specific native sources The last question is platform specific sources (IA32, IA64 and so on)... We can easily put them under windows/IA32 or so... Any thoughts? When some decision will be agreed or current structure become clear I will prepare patch for "Contribution Policy"...
