[Axis2] Double namespace validation mechanisms in sub build systems

For woden and xml_schema, I see that the include folder has a sub folder 
with the respective name and then we have the include files in them with 
the prefix axis2_woden and axis2_xml_schema.
This is validating namespaces twice.

1. We do not need the sub folder
2. we do not need the axis2_ part of the prefix (Yes I know we started 
with these as part of axis2, but not any more)

So I propose we remove those

We also have axis2_om as our prefix for OM related stuff, shall we 
change that to axiom (yes this affects header name, struct name and  
method name prefixes as well as macro prefixes) But we better do it now, 
without waiting till 1.0 release.

Thanks,
Samisa...

Ok this has been a historical debate with us(since Axis C++ time). 
Unfortunately I have forgotten(or did not understand the first time) 
about the plan you described here when I created the structure for 
xml_schema and woden. Anyway I would like to  make +1 for the above plan 
and adhere to it. Also I'll remove axis2 prefix from
woden and xml_schema asap and prefix them with woden_ and xm_schema_ 
respectively.

Well, we initially came up with the idea of having a prefix for the 
header file name by looking at the APR project as our master guide.
What they do is that, when they install, they install stuff to a folder 
in /usr/include/apr-[n], where n represents the versions.
As an example, I have /usr/include/apr-0/, and inside that folder all 
the headers had either apr_ or apu_ prefix.
What this basically means is that we can accommodate parallel versions 
to reside on the same machine.

Hence why not we also adhere to the same standard. We install our header 
into axis2-0.92 in install location and all the headers are put there 
with axis2_, axiom_, woden_ and xml_schema_ prefixes. When including the 
header, the use does not have to use a folder prefix in #include. Also, 
no need to bother about putting multiple paths to -I, all that you need 
is -I/usr/include/axis2-0.92 (or whatever version of axis2 installed). 
Would that not be cleaner?

Well, I have lot my concentration already ;-) I have put my others tasks 
that I was working on to the *todo* waiting list as these are also 
*important* :)
Anyway, yes, we can wait.

Actually I think what we should have followed is the folder base 
namespace rather than prefix based one. I suggest
this at least for the new projects. Otherwise if we make a install to 
default places in unix it would clutter standard
folders with axis2 prefixed files. It is very neat if they all go inside 
a folder like /usr/local/inclue/woden

we don't need any prefix if we put headers in a folder

We separed those two projects from the main code base after they were 
already started. That's why axis2 prefix.
Yes we need to remove axis2 prefix not only from xml_schema and woden 
projects but also from other axis2 platform
emerging projects like security etc.

+1.

It is better if we wait for these changes until atleast the initial code 
base of xml_schema and woden is completed(In 3 or 4 days time). 
Otherwise I would lost my concentration again(This first time I lost is 
when having those env changes few days back).
