This reflects the new structure of the repository, and the separation
of the "old" xwiki into different parts/modules.
So, there are 3 major parts that can be seen:
- xwiki-platform-core is the java platform that works behind the scene
(the model and controller in MVC). It does not contain any
presentational templates or documents. In the final package this
contributes most of the WEB-INF directory, except some configuration
files.
- xwiki-web-standard (or xwiki-platform-web/standard, as it is in the
repository) adds the view part (templates, static files,
stylesheets...). In the final .war this contributes all the other
directories except most of WEB-INF. Still, this does not contain any
documents. Together with the core, it can be used as the basis for any
XWiki product, like XWiki Enterprise, XWiki Watch or Curriki.
- xwiki-enterprise (or xwiki-products-enterprise) is now a product
built on top of the XWiki platform, and adds only the documents that
can be seen in a fresh XWiki. You can still build a war without this
module, but it will not contain any users, classes, templates, plain
documents or applications. It can also be deployed as a standalone
application, containing everything needed to run XWiki (container,
database, webapp, scripts to start/stop the container).
Actually there are more modules, but you can look at the svn structure
to see them all.

Hi, Vincent, hi all,
I've been trying to follow the development of the new milestone by following
messages sent to xwiki-dev, but I am afraid I have missed some point. A
doubt that has arisen when going to download the new release: why the
standalone installation file is called
xwiki-enterprise-1.1-milestone-3-hsqldb.zip whereas the war file is called
xwiki-web-standard-1.1-milestone-3-hsqldb.war? Why the first one is
-enterprise- and the second one -web-standard-?
