New Reflection Project

[adrian.brock]

I've created a top level JIRA project for the MetaDataRepository.
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBReflect

Most of the outstanding issues relate to the unused javassist code
(deferred to a later release).
The one issue remaining besides the release is the Serialization
which Ales needs to check and close the task.
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBREFLECT-9

Copy/paste typo? :-)
Plain Reflection or what did you have in mind for the name?

Cut and Paste error. :-)

I forgot that this task also needs doing:

One issue with the reflection stuff is that there is some code
in there to parse

<javabean xmlns="urn:jboss:javabean:1.0" .../>

xml elements.

With Maven, this means every user of BeanInfo (including JBossXB itself :-)
gets a depdendency on JBossXB and transitively its dependencies.

What I propose to do is to leave the "container" project in the MC
but rename it to "javabean", to include this xml parsing code.

Sounds reasonable.

A bit off this direct topic or a bit higher in the project hierarchy.
I think we should move MC svn directory a bit higher. At the same level as jbossas.
And all the new spin-off projects should still be gathered under that directory.
But as separate projects - with branches, tags, trunk, ...

Microcontainer as a name, should still be understood as the 'cradle' of those (sub)projects.

Moving mc up to a peer of jbossas would require creating a new svn repository, with a need for migration from the jbossas repository.

No, I'm just going to move them to jbossas/projects for now.

It probably all wants moving to top level projects within labs eventually?
