Hi Cody, I've just spent some time going over Seam Mail and preparing it for the release, however I've discovered a number of items that I think still need some work before it can go out:
1) Seam mail core - I think that the core module should be removed and this should just become seam-mail-api, and (possibly, I'll get back to this shortly) seam-mail (the implementation). This would bring the module into conformity with other modules that follow a similar structure of one api, multiple implementations. 2) Evaluate whether the sub-module currently called seam-module-core-impl is necessary. It seems to me that this contains classes that the user might use directly, in which case they should go into the API module. If they are classes that don't actually belong in the API, then maybe a submodule called seam-mail-common might make more sense if they are implementation classes common to both the Velocity and Freemarker implementations. 3) The implementations need a minor restructure - the impl directory in both the Freemarker and Velocity implementations is redundant, these submodules can go directly in their respective sub-dirs. Also, the artifacts should be renamed to seam-mail-freemarker and seam-mail-velocity. 4) The seam-render sub-module. What is this for exactly? It only contains one class, RenderTemplate - can this go into the impl or seam-mail-common perhaps? 5) The distribution is broken. Running mvn clean install -Drelease produces a distribution archive that seems to be missing a whole bunch of stuff, including the actual project artifacts. If anyone is able to help Cody out with these items it would be greatly appreciated, as I know he little spare time to spend on the mail module at the moment. Likewise, I have my hands tied up with the release right now so if we're going to get the mail module into the 3.1.0.Beta1 release then we'll need a kind volunteer to help out with it.
