A stack MUST NOT have a compile time dependency on framework

[thomas.diesler]

Heiko, could you please remind me why this is.

 <!-- A stack MUST NOT have a compile time dependency on jbossws-framework.jar -->
 <pathelement location="${thirdparty.dir}/jbossws-common.jar"/>
 <pathelement location="${thirdparty.dir}/jbossws-spi.jar"/>

I am trying to find a good location for our generic handler base classes

Stack, as well as container may only have a dependency on the interfaces (SPI) not the implementation (framework). The framework code is an implementation detail that may not be available in all target containers. I know this sounds academic, and probably is not true at the moment, but proper decoupling requires this IMO.

Why not put them in common?
