Description

Mailing list thread: https://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg70406.html

I would like to make those application easier to find in the source tree.

Here would be the principles I would like to enforce:
 - All server applications should be collocated under the same directory
 - Server application modules should be clearly separated from guice
module declarations

[...] As such I propose
the following directory layout as a first step:

```
server/apps/spring
     -> today server/app
server/apps/memory
     -> today server/container/guice/memory-guice
server/apps/cassandra
     -> today server/container/guice/cassandra-guice
server/apps/cassandra-ldap
     -> tests only
server/apps/distributed
     -> today server/container/guice/cassandra-rabbitmq-guice
server/apps/cassandra-ldap
     -> tests only
server/apps/jpa
     -> today server/container/guice/jpa-guice
server/apps/jpa-smtp
     -> today server/container/guice/jpa-smtp
server/container/guice/*
     -> Location of guice modules, lifecycle, etc...
server/container/spring/*
     -> Location of Spring stuff...
```
