I did it twice or more. it is not magic but the goal is to put
removed/changed classes outside the core project (yes it implies some
modules). this way the core part (what i call core here is what
doesn't change) stays the same with same packages and only what moves
changes.

I know it is easier to just change everything but then you can't cry
cause the war does 200M to pring hello ;).

Using maven pom dependencies can also make it smoother using the pom
dependency as an aggregator.

it wouldn't be commons which is (are actually) everywhere I wouldn't
care that much but commons is so widely spread that it is a bit harder
to manage (it is comparable to asm if it speaks to anyone).
