Description

It would be interesting to do some cleaning and reorganization in the code. Here are some ideas :

- creation of a new sub-project containing all the ustility classes like StringUtils, and so on. Those class will be visible by all the projects
- moving all the gui to a apachedds-ui subproject could also help. We have this kind of code in apacheds-core (org.apache.ldap.server.partition.impl.btree.gui)
- as discussed with Alex and others, renaming of Twix, Snickers and Snacc is necessary. Snacc will be pushed to an Archive branche or project (a kind of sandbox, or oak box...) and Snickers could be deprecated and replaced by Twix, which will be renamed to apacheds-ldap-codec..

Those are ideas, please add yours or feel free to comment :)

Let's also break away the main application in apacheds. Can break this up into a server jndi provider project with the ServerConfiguration and ServerContextFactory oh and those abstract test cases too. The application code can go into directory/standalone somewhere and we can have it use some of Nick Faiz's work with the standalone build.
