[xwiki-dev] [Proposal] New SVN directory structure to accommodate the different applications we have

[Stéphane Laurière]

Thanks, everything works very well for me so far. I'm using Eclipse here
for development. This new structure is very convenient. Well done :-)

I'll try to update the Eclipse building page asap:

Cheers
