Note: the module containing actual XAR format tools (i.e. the current
xwiki-platform-xar module) should stay light on the dependencies and
not depend on anything like oldcore so if you plan to move actions we
will need two different modules.

xwiki-platform-xar-ui (the ui part of the oldcore code above)
|_ xwiki-platform-xar-filter (the move from xwiki-platform-filter-stream-
xar)
WDYT?
The other option that I like less would be to group everything under the
filter module but it doesn’t seem good. I’d prefer to keep this module
generic as much as possible and have “business” modules using it (XAR
import/export, Confluence import/export, MediaWiki,import/export, etc).
Thanks
