Description

The API of the Sightly Script Engine is currently exposing quite a number of classes which are not directly related in a single package:

• Some classes and interfaces (e.g. BaseRenderUnit and RenderUnit) need not be exported at all
• Interfaces should be split into separate packages reflecting the coherence:
  • Extension API
  • UseProvider API
  • Use interface
• ObjectModel currently contains a collection of methods which should not be exposed at all (operator implementations).

Refactoring work has been done on a fork at https://github.com/fmeschbe/sling.git. This issue is to track bringing back these changes into Sling.
