NOTICE: *IMPORTANT* CVS MODULES ARE MOVING
Folks,
This is a notice to let you know that the James CVS modules will be
changing.
The current jakarta-james module will become james-server. Initially,
everything will be in there, but we're going to separate out the web-site
into a new module (probably james-site), and eventually other modules, e.g.,
james-mailet.
Once the change has been made, you can edit cvs/Repository, and change it to
read james-server instead of jakarta-james.

Actually I wasn't thinking about seperate cvs repos - instead I was
thinking more along the lines of seperating component builds as
sub-projects within the james module. I've been doing a lot of playing
around with James in the past few days (linked to the cornerstone
component builds) - and I've got to the point where the individaul
components are just plugged together. It would be really nice to be
able to do the same thing with the assorted James components.
In fact I'll probably be posting a detailed email on this sometime soon
because I preparing a writup on James as a composite component example
and there are a few questions I have concerning dynamic usage of the
mailet services (but that's for later).

Sure is - excalibur releases are complete, the cornerstone candidates
are in place, and its all been tested (James HEAD + cornerstone
candidates + excalibur releases + framework 4.1.4 or 4.1.5-dev). The
cornerstone suite is ready to incorporate into a maven build and all of
the required resources are available under the ibiblio server (with the
exception of mail_1_3.jar and activation.jar).
Cheers, Steve.

Stephen,
We've been talking about it for quite some time. This is just an opportune
point to do it.

I don't believe that is going to happen. We do not need a CVS module per
service, IMO.

One step at a time, but yes. Didn't you see my comment in dev@avalon asking
if we could borrow Leo? :-) Also, Dion Gillard had done some work on it,
but he felt a bit stymied, IIRC, by the lack of a proper Avalon release. As
you know, that's changing.

Noel:
Suprise, surprise - I was thinking about the very same thing just
yesterday. Personally I would really love to see a breakout of the
different components in James as seperate subprojects (i.e. going beyond
james/mailet separation and into the seperation of the basic building
blocks - smtp, dns, remote, pop3, nntp, etc.
Is this a good time to be thinking about migration to Maven as well?
