Some progress

Since the spindle project seems like a black hole lately, I'm going to
send a note to this list after every session. It would be rare that
one of these notes would be worthy of a blog entry. Doing this is as
much to inform the interest as to remind myself that yes, I am making
progress.

Wednesday was release day at the day job and I didn't get away until after 11pm

Yesterday I was worn out after wednesday + several days of late night
spindl'n so I packed it in early and went to bed for a change
(7:30pm!)

Tonight, I made some changes in the interface of the IDOMModelSource.
The parse methods now take an ICoreResource. I didn't plan on doing
this but I'm thinking about how elements of specs are going to have
location buts coming from all over the place (like an annotated class
or super interface) long story - hope to fill in the blanks soon.

Added a skimpy (but to be improved as tests are written)
implementation of a JarClasspathRoot/JarClasspathResource combo. this
is the java/tests/ dir of spindle-core.

Intend to use it to test things like NamespaceResolvers. The Framework
library is large and intricate - a good target for later comprehensive
NamespaceResolver tests. As an added bonus, nothing in the framework
currently uses annotaions. Thus, it's a great testbed I can use before
I figure out how I'm going to handle annotations.

Plan to add a File based ClasspathRoot/ClasspathResource too. (for testing)

See? progress!
