I'm not sure I get it. MailSender depending on Core isn't the problem.
The problem is Core depending on MailSender to get the glue code in
XWiki.sendMessage working.
xwiki-core SNAPSHOT --> mailsender plugin SNAPSHOT version
mailsender --> xwiki-core LATEST (i.e. 1.5M1 or 1.4.1)
2) It
needed mailsender plugin moved from plugins module to core
module
to avoid circulars and other nasties.
We need to find a solution for this since we'd like to keep the
modules separate. This is actually our current effort: modularize
XWiki and move everything to components.
One solution for now could be to set a dependency on the last
released
version of core with a provided scope. The only other idea I have is to use reflection
instead of direct use,
which is not very pretty.
Besides, isn't MailSender 'core enough' to be in Core? It's a pretty
basic functionality. There are about two dozen different packages in
Core / com.xpn.xwiki.plugin already.
Yes, some plugins are core plugins and should be moved to xwiki-
platform-core/ directory. But what we don't want is moved them inside
xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-core module.
I'm not sure my solution works with maven. It might still create a
circular dep but it's worth verifying it.
And what about the other two questions?
I don't know the answers...
Thanks
