At CocoonGT we had some sort of agreement to create optional modules
Please, no more modules. It is bad already as it is - adding *more*
modules only makes it worse. What's wrong with simply deprecating
them, with placing appropriate javadoc?
+1 to move to -components, these are certainly not -core.
But this doesn't solve the problem that many components are loaded into
the spring app context by default. Having them into a seperate module
makes it easy to exclude them. But of course than you can run into the
situation that you only need one of them and get them all loaded again :-(
Why do you care that much about them? Of course they increase the memory
footprint but not for megabytes.
However, what we could do is introducing a rule that every *.opt.xml
file in META-INF/cocoon/spring and META-INF/cocoon/avalon isn't loaded
automatically but needs to be included explicitly.
Don't make it too complicated with too many rules. There are already
many conventions to get stuff included. Now we want to add even more to
get it excluded again? I'd say don't fix it before there is the
requirement. spring-configurator can always easily be extended for such
a feature.
