While restructure would be a step in such direction. I am not suggesting switching build systems. It would not matter for my needs, as I would bypass Maven or Gradle just the same as Ant. I took part on one discussion long ago regarding Tomcat and Maven when I officially maintained Tomcat on Gentoo. I can see how its likely come up many times since. Though my objections then have now passed as I am not using any build system. Maven and Gradle are not easily integrated into Gentoo's Portage. Even Ant was a pain and I have tossed out that integration. Though my 2 cents now would be Gradle vs Maven. Seems few if any know about things Maven is built on like Plexus and Modello. Otherwise the build system is moot to me. None the less I would think moving stuff into sub-modules per jar and moving resources into their own directories to help with development and such. Just shows where stuff resides. Though some is shared in like bootstrap I believe. It was just the one difficulty I had in packaging Tomcat on Gentoo my new way using straight javac via bash Gentoo elcasses. Plus the one hiccup as I had to get resources from sources. That was interesting to see Tomcat running missing most resources. I am past that self inflicted issue with resources now. Changing layout is some what moot. Short of when new files are added I must add to specific jars. That may get a bit hairy. Will cross that bridge then. Either way thanks for considering the feedback on project structure! -- William L. Thomson Jr.
