Hi Jacopo and Pierre, I like the idea of the new design but it will represent some problems which we need to think about. For example, the commonext prepares the UI labels which are commonly used (content, party, etc ...) and makes them available across all components. This makes a dependency

Hi Taher, what you describe seems to be inline with the concept of having commonext as the base component for all the applications (i.e. loaded first): all applications will depend on it and would use (for example) its labels. Am I missing something? Jacopo On Nov 24, 2014, at 10:19 AM, Taher

Hi Jacopo, You are not missing anything! I am just stating that work needs to be done to help implementing your vision. One such example being removing the UI Label loading from the commonext to the upper application components. In fact, if you wish to open a JIRA to that effect I can help with

Do you agree that specialpurpose would be a better fit for the commonext component that is currently under the applications folder? It extends the default data model adding new fields to the NoteData entity and provides some special purpose features. Jacopo
