== Where Should Equinox Components Go? ==
The CVS components for the eclipse.equinox sub-project use the following folder layout:

<code>
  org.eclipse.equinox/<component-name>/bundles/<bundle-project-name>
  org.eclipse.equinox/<component-name>/features/<feature-project-name>
</code>

Where '''component-name''' is the same name used for the bugzilla component and Unix group.  For example, p2, security, framework, bundles etc. and '''bundle-project-name''' is the bundle symbolic name for the bundle project and '''feature-project-name''' is the symbolic name of the feature.  This way each component is grouped under one directory.  The '''bundles''' directory is intended to separate the actual bundle projects from other content associated with the component.  For example, we may want a '''docs''' folder to place documents about the component and a '''features''' to contain the features associated with a component.  So the overall structure looks something like this:

<code>
  org.eclipse.equinox/
                     p2/
                        bundles/
                               org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.optimizers
                               org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.processors
                               org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository
                               org.eclipse.equinox.p2.console
                              ...
                        features/
                        docs/
                     security/
                        bundles/
                               org.eclipse.equinox.security
                               org.eclipse.equinox.security.tests
                               org.eclipse.equinox.security.ui
                               org.eclipse.equinox.security.win32.x86
                        features/
                        docs/
