Re: [riena-dev] Riena CVS clean-up & refactoring

["Campo, Christian" <Christian.Campo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think the restructuring is a good idea. (maybe others like to comment that as well).

There is one point where I disagree with your proposal which is the "optional" subdirectory:

1. I think the name "optional" leaves room for interpretation and in general will make people dump everything in there which is new and has no obvious place.

2. I disagree that the Nebula ridget belongs into /optional although its in the optional ridget bundle. I think it belongs into runtime and shouldnt be in a place where it is easily judged as second class citizien. People can then in their launch config disable it as they can choose not to use navigation, communication or security.

I think Riena on RAP belongs just into /rap. There will be more projects comming as we move on and RAP is platform by itself and deserves its own subdirectory. I think the bundle *.rcp" still belongs into runtime subdirectory because RCP is our major platform. As we start to adopt e4 we will then add another subdirectory /e4 where we put the Riena stuff that is e4 specific.

What do you think ? And what do others think ?
