PLUGIN_EDITIONS_STRUCTURE

@@ -1 @@
-The edition structure for the Sophie 2.0 will be three modules:
+Sophie 2.0 consists of three editions(plug-in sets):
  * org.sophie2.author
  * org.sophie2.reader
  * org.sophie2.server
-which contain:
- * For now - Fake main class for running the project in Eclipse
- * Activator class for running the project with Felix framework
-and must depend on the modules(may be transitive), created for the edition they represent.[[BR]]
 
-For now we have org.sophie2.author module for Sophie Author edition:
- * the dependencies for the module are in pom.xml file - dependencies section.
- * in the package are [source:/trunk/sophie2-platform/modules/org.sophie2.author/src/main/java/org/sophie2/author/Activator.java Activator] and [source:/trunk/sophie2-platform/modules/org.sophie2.author/src/main/java/org/sophie2/author/FakeAuthorMain.java FakeAuthorMain] classes. 
-  * !FakeAuthorMain starts our module registry for the modules and calls the old main method.
-  * The Activator implements osgi !BundleActivator and is for starting and stoping the author module. In our case this means starting and stoping the whole Author Application.
+Each edition is runnable through:
+ * Eclipse, using some fake classes that simulate plug-in behavior
+ * Apache Felix OSGI implementation.
+
+Every edition has the following structure:
+ * / - main application catalog
+  * /modules/  - containes plug-ins(in the form of jar-files or unpacked jar-files) that are/can be used in this edition
+  * /conf/ - contains plug-ins configuration files and global configuration files
+  * /log/ - contains application log(s)
+  * /data/ - contains mutable resources(i.e book templates).
+  * run-files
+
+At this time each edition has its own module. It is responsible for loading the correct set of plug-ins.
