We should do all of commons, I agree, but I think it would be wise to
start with one component and see that everything works as expected. Then
we do the rest all in one big transition.
Yes, but instead of transiting something, that depends on other commons
IMHO something without dependencies should be transited first.
In other words, first thing to be done should be a graph of dependencies
between various commons packages and those without dependencies
should be migrated first. I guess commons-lang is a good candidate here,
not configuration that depdends on many other (not migrated yet)
components.
What would we gain from this? A transition of component A will not
include updating existing commons-dependencies in component A to the new
ones with the new groupId. That will require a new release of that
component A. If fact we don't even have to wait for a release of a
component to do this.
There is a good reason for *not* picking commons-lang or
commons-logging, two components without dependencies on other commons
components, as the first component to transition. That is that both are
on ibiblio's top 10 downloads list. I had link to it before but can't
seem to find it now, sorry. If we do it wrong there then all hell will
break loose. It'd be better to choose a "medium used" component.
