Generally 'base' is the set of classes which are useful by other 
components (services or clients). I think we could have one general base 
which will be treated as a separate library (this would be a separate 
jar file) and the bases that would be useful only to a certain group of 
components (for example the base only for MA services or only for client 
apps). These specific bases would be included in the jar files of 
services. I don't think we have to use other term for those specific 
bases because package names are different.

I see you point but on the other side grouping services might be more 
clear for especially new developers. Having bundle, clients, services, 
etc. on the same level might be less clear.

I don't think it would be difficult.


I wasn't sure to use indicators of programming language (j-*, pl-*, 
py-*) in service directory names so I removed them. They could be used 
if there are two services which have the same functionality but they are 
created in different languages (see 'py-cl-mp'). But I think this name 
should be up to a developer. Those service directory names are just 
proposals which could be changed.


I have attached updated proposals of snv directory structure.
