Hi Anders,
I'm curious as to why we need to have the org.omg.* classes in a
module by
themselves. Right now, it seems like having all of the CORBA code
located
in the Yoko 'core' module should be fine for most purposes. Is there a
reason why we need to break this down further into multiple CORBA
modules or
have I misunderstood what you are trying to achieve?
Currently, the Geronimo project has a spec module containing the same
classes. It is my understanding that the Geronimo people want the spec
in a separate module.
We have an open JIRA issue on the subject:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YOKO-24 .
Generally, the spec modules are used to separate interface from
implementation, which is fairly important when dealing with the various
interdependencies between geronimo components. This allows Geronimo and
packages with Geronimo support to compile without requiring the complete
Geronimo build package. They only need the spec jars. This also
cleanly separates the classes the other components are permitted to use
from the internal classes that should remain hidden.
Best regards,
Anders
