Separate modules

+1. And if future versions of neo4j will allow for the procedures to be hot-swapped (DB-restart-free procedure loading), OSGI-fying these packages would be cool, too.

Actually it is intentionally one single module

So that non-tech users don't have to fiddle around with multiple modules

Also multiple modules can't share dependencies as everything is loaded only from the procedure's jar.

There is zero overhead, you just drop the apoc jar into the plugins directory, done.

There will be no OSGi

There will be some hot reloading in the future.

I really want to minimize any complication for users, and tracking which "packages" they already installed or not and which versions etc. will just be a pain for them. That's why for the mid-term, I want to keep it all in one.

That makes sense. Maybe at some point Neo4j should have a plugin/package manager like rubygems/npm/etc...
