Hi devs, For http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-5490 I need to make ObservationManager itself listen to ComponentDescriptorAddedEvent events. There is two issue here: - currently ComponentDescriptorAddedEvent is in the same project than the component manager implemenation which is pretty much the same thing as behing internal since there is no reason to force to depends on a specific implementation of component manager just to listen on some generic events that has nothing to do with it - i can move them to component-api because that would produce a circular dependency with observation project which depends on component-api So the only technical solution I can see is to create a new project with theses events. I propose to name it xwiki-core-component-observation and to move ComponentEventManager from component-api to it too.

Note: i took ObservationManager here because it's a core one but a lot of other components will probably have the exact same need to support properly installed/uninstalled extensions WDYT ? -- Thomas Mortagne
