> Currently there are two cyclic dependencies in our WSDL2Java code: between {cxf-tools-wsdlto-core, cxf-tools-wsdlto-databinding-jaxb} and {cxf-tools-wsdlto-core, cxf-tools-wsdlto-frontend-jaxws}
> Databinding needs Core's DefaultValueProvider
> Core needs databinding's tools-plugin.xml
> Frontend needs Core's WSDLToProcessor
> Core needs frontend's tools-plugin.xml
> The "Core" requirements are because Core contains WSDL2Java class.  Because WSDL2Java needs packages outside of Core, I think it would be best to either place WSDL2Java in its own module, or keep it where it is but create a new "common" module under wsdl2 that would hold DefaultValueProvider, WSDLToProcessor (and perhaps a few other needed classes).  If the latter,databinding and frontend would have this new wsdl-common as a dependency but not wsdl-core anymore.
> Background:  I was having trouble debugging WSDL2Java in Eclipse.  I imported just the cxf-tools-wsdlto-core project into the IDE, but running WSDL2Java in debug mode raised errors that it needed the frontend and databinding modules.  After adding the following dependencies to cxf-tools-wsdlto-core:
>         <dependency>
>             <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
>             <artifactId>cxf-tools-wsdlto-databinding-jaxb</artifactId>
>             <version>${project.version}</version>
>             <scope>runtime</scope>
>         </dependency>
>         <dependency>
>             <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
>             <artifactId>cxf-tools-wsdlto-frontend-jaxws</artifactId>
>             <version>${project.version}</version>
>             <scope>runtime</scope>
>         </dependency>
> and then running mvn eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse again from this core directory, wsdl2Java worked fine.  *But* this introduces a cyclic dependency with databinding and frontend (they both have core as a dependency), so "mvn install" won't work in any higher-level directory of core.
