It would be a lot easier if VFS were a single module project. Maven does not handle multi-module projects well. For example I just tried "mvn site" in the RC directory and it complained about not finding various bits of VFS in the repo. This does not happen with single module projects. Once sandbox is removed, there's only core and examples; these could be merged and the jars managed as NET does. But that's maybe too much upheaval for now. And sandbox could even be developed as a separate project (rather than module) depending on VFS (which it does anyway). >> I'm not yet convinced about the Clirr errors. >> I tried running the previous tests jar against the current code. >> There were some errors, but these may be due to code fixes.
