Roller module refactoring

One thing that makes it really irritating to deal with (and maintain) the
Roller code is the fact that is is needlessly split between 9 different
Maven modules. Would anybody be opposed to combining modules and reducing
the number down to 2? I experimented with this idea in my GitHub
"rollarcus" project here:
http://rollerweblogger.org/roller/entry/rollarcus_9_to_2 and it worked
nicely.

Sounds eminently sensible to me

+1. I think new approach is more cleaner and seems to be less confusing too.

Thanks

Sounds good.  I think it would be preferable if you can check in your 
changes in smaller working increments instead of all-at-once (assuming 
it would take a while to get all the simplifications in) as that would 
allow us to make software changes while you're doing the simplifying and 
ensure that the Roller checkout always remains buildable and deployable 
during the process.  However, if you need a complete check-in freeze for 
a period of time from the rest of the team just let us know.

Note you may wish to keep a separate weblogger-jar and weblogger-war 
submodules if in the future you're expecting a third weblogger-osgi 
submodule (which would include weblogger-jar but not the weblogger-war 
stuff), or if you're seeing a potential need for separate 
weblogger-weblogic, weblogger-websphere, etc., submodules that will 
contain container-specific configuration.
But either way is fine with me.
