Hi Thomas,

>This is one of many pieces of code I have written that would IMHO be useful
as an integral part of pivot.
I'm sure many of us have useful code, and this is a right spirit for Open
Source development (and not only open source debug as many times I see
anywhere), I'm very happy for this :-) .

>to integrate this one would be the DesktopApplicationContext class, I think
(that way, we could avoid duplicating the code for DesktopDisplayHost and
HostDialog)
For me there aren't problems to integrate inside DesktopApplicationContext
(duplicating code is never good), but we have to see what others (Greg for
example) say on this.

>Best to wait after the 2.0.1 release, isn’t it
Yes, it will be safer.
But in the meantime we could add it in one of our Apache-Extras, to be
compatible even with 2.0.x if wanted ...


>Apart from all that, I have also some code exceeding the (as I understand
it) intended scope of Pivot. Mainly, this is about integrations with
MigLayout,  the spring framework and JPA. 
Yes, this is interesting, surely.
An important thing to note is even the compatibility of licenses between our
code (all under the Apache 2 License) and required dependencies. so as a
general rule under Apache-Extras we have a little less restrictions ...
For big dependencies I prefer to use Maven but it's only a personal taste (a
standard project is Ok the same) ... what do you think ?

>I could imagine sharing that, too, probably best as part of the Apache
Extras projects. 
Good I have some code that has not been included in Pivot, if only I could
have enough time ... but I have to put it somewhere under Apache-Extras too.

>Is there some overview of those projects somewhere?
No, I have created them mainly for "Usage", you can find all them with this
query:
http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/hosting/search?q=label%3aPivot
there are some comments, but at the moment no wiki docs etc (no time for it
until now).
Choose what you like and tell me ... I think that pivot-contrib and
pivot-extras could be enough for the beginning, and maybe pivot-common if
there are some features useful to all pivot-related projects here.

Bye,
Sandro
