Ember - Sharing code between two EAK projects

Question

I hava two emberjs projects both use EAK as the basic project structure. There are some common code i want to share between these two projects: templates, views(and the related stylesheets) some utility classes etc. But there are some doubts i want to figure out:

1. Should i put the common code into a separate eak project?
2. Should i use some package manager(bower maybe) to mange project dependency?
3. EAK use its custom resolver to find ember classes under specific directories(views,controllers etc), so should i copy the common code into these directories or just extend the resolver to write my own finding logic?

Any push in the right direction will be a tremendous help! Thank you.

It's perfectly find to extend the resolved to add directories as fault backs. Here's a sample code:

var appPath = "apps/ordering/";
var resolver = Ember.DefaultResolver.extend({
  resolveTemplate: function (parsedName) {
    parsedName.fullNameWithoutType = appPath + parsedName.fullNameWithoutType;
    # fallback to raw templates (used for compatibility with non-Ember/emblem templates)
    return this._super(parsedName) ||
      Ember.TEMPLATES[parsedName.fullNameWithoutType + ".raw"]
  }
});

Essentially you could call this._super with different paths in the right order to have the faultbacks.

Hope this helps
