Yes, as far as the whole web application is concerned. But what about 
single modules? If we switch to Maven, my idea would be to build modules 
as Maven projects. The dependency tree of a module could look like this:

lenya.modules.foobar
   \- lenya.core-api
   \- lenya.modules.foo
   \- lenya.modules.bar

WDYT?
