Architecture Diagram including current violations 

Each arrow upwards shows a violation in the layering. That means some class inside the package references a class of a package above it. These diagrams were built with an architecture tool called structure 101. We have an offer from the manufacturer headway software to supply us with licenses for all camel developers that are interested. If you want a license please contact me (Christian Schneider chris at die-schneider.net). I will then try to organize a license for you.
