shared files among some applications

[tom...@gmail.com]

Hi,

We have 4 applications which shared some of the 100 files we have

Application1 and Application2 sharing File 1 to File 20
Application1 and Application3 sharing File 15 to File 25
Application1 and Application4 sharing File 1 to File 30
etc...

Some suggest(those who have time....) that we should create merge
module for each shared files
I suggest to create a single merge module which contains all 100 files
even if an applictaion does not need
all of them

What do you think?

Thanks in advance

Presumably the files have some specific use? Could you not create modules for each block of
functionality?

Split up the shared files in to seperate groups, e.g. one group for
File 1-15, one for 1-20, one for 20-25 and one for 25-30.

With group I mean "msi feature". You can arrange features into a tree
structure so the final msi for each application can have a single
feature with sub-features for all needed file-group.
