trunk structure - distribution folder

[Florian MOGA <mo...@gmail.com>]

The distributionn folder is destined to take the responsabilities of the
features, distribution and shades folders.

In the distribution folder we already have "all" and "tomcat". What
directory should we use to collect together the projects that describe
collections of jars but which are not, in their own right,
distributions, e.g. core-runtime, base-runtime etc.

Do we think distribution which is assembling set of jars in a given
structure to be consumed by users feat well together with "soft
grouping"  of modules for simplifying consumption ? By bringing all of
this together inside distribution, it might have potential to confuse
people.

To me, features does not belong to distribution as it's really not
producing an artifact that is going to be released.
