You may be right, because "antidote" is a commonly used word, but I am with Stefan here and I feel playing save can't be bad :-).
What are the chances that the new name isn't a clash with somebody else somewhere? How far/wide do you search? Do you change again in a while when somebody surfaces? When does it end?
I think typically folks w/ name clashes, who don't truly clash in product/concept/marketing typically just learn to ignore it and coexist. The Internet is too big for no clashes. Maybe call it org.apache.ant.idote or something. ;-)
Surely Apache has run into this before, no?
Yup. For example Microsoft has Avalon, and Sony has Cocoon. But our projects are "Apache Avalon" and "Apache Cocoon".
So it's not *strictly* necessary to change the name, but why risk when you don't have a brand to protect anyhow.
