Hi,
I'd like to propose moving the XAR plugin tool module and the XAR handler tool module
to xwiki-commons/xwiki-commons-tools/
Rationale:
* There's an issue with Maven3 which doesn't seem to allow building an extension
in the same reactor build as the modules using it. For more information see:
-

-

-
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1911
* We could rationalize this move by considering the XAR format as a new zip format,
independent of xwiki-platform
We could always move it back to xwiki-platform in the future if Maven 3.1 supports
building extensions module in situ in the future.
Here's my +1 (I'm also volunteering to perform the move).
Thanks
-Vincent
