Is it time to start thinking about splitting off some of these Classpath
sub-projects into separate builds/packages? E.g., we could have:

  classpath-core
  classpath-corba
  classpath-foobar
  etc.

Otherwise things may get to be too monolithic (i.e., inflexible).
In particular I'm thinking of embedded system applications, which
may only want/need a subset of the whole shebang.
