Yes to both of these. The sacred cow says: okay, ben, do background
research and experimentation, but wait until we can do it really
right, after OL4.0 final.
I think, not only separate jars for script compiler, tag compiler,
and lps -- actually separate source trees.

The holy grail would be to split these out as separate jars, write
wrappers to create the command-line utilities, and be able to
stitch them together with a different wrapper that creates the
server compiler (still split out from the proxy part of the
server). That would presumably let people embed the laszlo
compiler into other server technologies.

One sacred cow: no big code / build changes for B2.
But medium-term (post-OL4.0), I think we definitely need to move
in this direction. We should be thinking about separate tools that
can be built and run separately from the command line. This means
any caching needs to be optional or separated out, of course.
I'd propose we have three separate jars: script compiler, tag
compiler, and LPS. The dependency list should be script -> tag ->
LPS, so you don't have to build the tag compiler to run the script
compiler, for example.
Having the script compiler separate would give us the beginnings
of a JS2->JS1 compiler, which the open source community would
surely be interested in.

I have noticed lots of community and internal trouble using
command-line lzc. Trouble with the SOLO deploy wizard is also
rampant. The basic problem here, I think, is that these tools
were all originally developed as part of a web application, but
their current use is not inherently webby. The web server needn't
be involved at all in building a swf or a solo zip.
I'm thinking of making a single executable jar containing
everything we need to do lzc with just
$ java -jar lzc-4.0b2.jar test.lzx
or an ant task
<lzc src="test.lzx" runtime="swf7" />
The key here is self-contained, pure java, and architecture
neutral. Ideas/sacred cows?
