Moving demo apps under phoenix

Hi,

I was thinking of moving the avalon-apps/demo, avalon-apps/simpleserver and 
avalon-phoenix/src/pdk under a directory named

avalon-phoenix/examples

so that there is a list of example phoenix apps in that CVS. At the same time 
we can rename simpleserver to testserver or something.

Any comments?

Anyone want to volunteer to do this?

Yes, it makes perfect sense to put all things that have a "live" 
dependency together. Besides, it also makes us attain the goal of 
reducing CVS modules.

Nope. 

src/api + src/compat defines the API for phoenix components.

compat is for stuff that we need to keep around for compatability reasons and 
so as not to break peoples code. 

The unused stuff is either stuff that is going to be used in the future, used 
now but not enabled by default and I think there is a bit of junk code in 
there that is mainly thought experiment.

well, duh! But what is "API"? Or, the API of what? Certainly there is 
more api to phoenix than what is in src/api!

heh :D

My idea on this (without knowing specifics) is that we want to move 
unused stuff there!

to store the API separately.

a bit unused but it does not harm atm

none.

no relationship.

hmm. It worries me a little that the demos won't run in the last release 
of phoenix, actually. Haven't bothered to look at the cause yet.

IMHO What we actually need is releases of the demos :D

I'm a bit behind on current head so I think I'll only say silly things 
when I go into that right now. Some things with question marks right now:

- why is there a src/api?
- how much of the containerkit stuff and other stuff re-included is 
actually unused? (like the kernel subpackage. Does the phoenix kernel 
use it?)
- how much of the content currently in src/java do we want to move to 
src/compat?
- what is the relationship between phoenix/framework and phoenix/interfaces?

etc etc. We need to figure out where the seperation between tools and 
server lies, probably restructure the ant file, then update the gump 
definitions to reflect all that. But ignore these thoughts: I prolly 
won't be working turning my attention to phoenix till excalibur is sorta 
fixed.

cheers!

To stop people getting confused about the demos. Quite a few people have been 
trying to run latest CVS demos with last release of phoenix. If the demos are 
in phoenix cvs there is not likely to be any confusion.

Exactly what needs to be done for this cleanup?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooh! No more moving! :D:D

Seriously, I'm something like +0. What's the point? You could also just 
copy the generated sars and docs into the phoenix binary distribution 
and save a whole lot of work.

I've had more than my share of moving ;). IMO we should finish cleanup 
of the phoenix tree before doing YAR (Yet Another Restructuring).

Mostly done now. At the same time moved docs relating to these examples into 
package.html and fixed a few bugs.
