Hi all, One of the challenges of writing good structural code in CloudStack is that the artifacts and their classes depend on each other with no code/filesystem structure. I want to discuss if it's a good idea to split all the interface classes files (from cloud-api, cloud-server, cloud-core) to either cloud-utils (which already provides a lot of reusable utils) or move them to a cloud-contract or cloud-interface artifact whose only purpose would be to provide interfaces or contracts between CloudStack components. The rules would be that cloud-utils provides reusable methods/utils via static methods and cloud-contract would just provide interfaces both of whose classes can be dependent on other classes within their artifact but they should be independent of anything else.
This would be just a move refactor, can be done after javelin is merged, can be done after 4.1, but would make it easier to write components so they won't have have cyclic dependency, tight coupling and a better filesystem structure. Regards.
