Re: [morph-developer] Integration with other packages WAS Re: Spring support

[Matt S. <Mat...@wh...>]

I think either way is fine.

The advantage to putting it in integration.commons would be that 
breaking Morph into several smaller JARs (like Spring does) at some 
point down the road would be much easier.  For example:
morph-core.jar
morph-reflect.jar
morph-transform.jar
morph-context.jar
morph-lang.jar
morph-wrap.jar
morph-commons.jar
morph-beanutils.jar

It would also allow us to more easily isolate code that has certain 
dependencies in the build script if, for example, we decided not to 
bundle commons-collections in the binary download (actually you may 
already be leaning this way with Ivy, IDK...)  I know if we go to a new 
integration package there are lots of things we'll need to move, but it 
shouldn't be too bad.

The only thing I really care about is that we only have compile time 
dependencies on things like commons-collections.  I consider Morph to be 
a very very low level tool (at least the Reflector) part, and I don't 
want it to have any required dependencies other than commons-logging.
