Rename "modules" folder to "lib"
I think we should rename the "modules folder to be called "lib". The name
"lib" is used almost universally in Java projects for the place the jars go,
the name "modules" is a hangover from 1.x where it was used as a place for
just the tuscany module jars to keep them separate from the all jar. Unless
anyone has a good reason not to i'll make this change in a couple of days.

We have a folder structure to represent the bundle for 3rd party jars. IMO, "lib" typically contains a set of plain jars which are loaded by one single classloader. For example, in WebSphere, there is a "lib" folder for non-OSGi jars and "plugins" for OSGi bundles. On the other hand, "modules" is symmetric to "features".
I prefer to stay with "modules". "plugins" can be another option too.
Thanks,
Raymond

Translating what I just said :
I don't have strong feelings one way or another... if everybody
agrees on this I'd be +1.. but please make sure that Raymond, that had
already responded to the thread is OK, as well as others.

I thought Raymond had replied [1] and you said that would be ok to
leave this for M1 [2].
For me, I'm OK with modules.

But OSGi bundles are just jars, so that doesn't seem like enough of a reason
to deviate from the norm to me. If people really object to changing this now
then i guess i'm ok with leaving it till after M1, but if the plan is to
change it eventually i'd rather do it now and that fits in with the "theme"
of M1 being sorting out the build and distribution structures. I don't mind

What we have under "modules" now are not plain jars. They are OSGi bundles. I don't see a strong reason to rename it to "lib". Can we just leave it as is to avoid extra work for 2.0 M1?
