You don't think this project is too small for so many separate 
projects/jars?  The client API is actually only a few classes compared 
to the server-side stuff.  I don't know...  If Olivier is going to do 
the Android stuff, then he probably wants things as small as possible.

We should probably move the client stuff to a different packaging format 
as well:

org.jboss.resteasy.client
org.jboss.resteasy.client.spi
org.jboss.resteasy.client.httpclient
org.jboss.resteasy.client.android

If you have a better way +1.  I had problems putting distribution info 
within pom.xml.  Would also be very cool if you could figure out how I 
can generate javadocs to go in the distribution.  Now I have to do 
multiple steps.

I don't want integration testing running with the root pom.  Most of the 
time, I have no need to run JBoss unit tests.

+1 on package rename.  This is very easy in Intellij so I'll get to this.
