Hi Ivan,
I am neither a native english speaker and writer, but I'll do my best to :-)

That core, wad and trl have their own eclipse projects is proof to me 
that they are in fact external to the main openbravo project. I always 
found it strange and uncommon that wad, trl, core are located in a 
folder of the openbravo project. I think (but am not sure) that the 
reason was that this was easier for the ant scripts.

Having wad, core, trl as real libraries makes it (impo) in the future 
possible to remove their dev projects from the main openbravo project 
and making them real separate projects, making the openbravo project 
smaller. Overall the project structure will become more according to 
'common-practices' and easier to understand and will be easier for 
third-party developers to start coding with Openbravo (just download one 
project and of-you-go).

The externals svn property sounds nice, but I think that just building 
the jars directly into the openbravo project (using the current tasks) 
and checking them in also works fine and sounds simpler (imo). Afaics we 
don't use svn:external for other third-party libraries either.
