[eclipselink-dev] Opinions please... (especially from leads)

[Eric Gwin <eric.gwin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Regarding core circular dependency issue.... For full history see: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=336179

The basic question I'm trying to answer is: "Which package structure makes more sense?"
We have a proposal to move the component specific XSDs from "xsd/" in multiple bundles (which creates a split package) to xsd/<component>
We also currently have some xsd files residing in org/eclipse/persistence/<component> as well as the xsd/ package.

Which makes more sense? o/e/p/component or xsd/component

I can see potential advantages to both, (o.e.p.component is probably safer, but xsd.component is probably more intuative/clear) but am wondering if there are strong opinions out there either way.
