Well, I have to agree with your suggestion; that's why I gave the 
original CVS module the name spring-modules, despite the java.net 
project having the same name. The name just seems best suited for the 
modules that make up Spring itself, whereas what's at java.net is more 
extensions, integrations, or related projects.

Obviously our CVS can go either way. Right now there is both 
spring-modules and spring-projects in it (the former was going to be 
pruned, while the latter has the most current code). I just don't know 
how much work it'd be for somebody (Rob I guess since he's admin there) 
to change the java.net project, and how in agreement he is to make a 
change there. Ultimately I don't feel like a big argument over a name...
