That needs to be done carefully to avoid creating jar hell. What exactly are you proposing here? Are you referring to SNAPSHOTs only (in which case caution is only advisable)? If you are proposing to release jars with the new package name, then this needs to be done in a separate jar with new Maven coords. It would be possible to gradually add more packages to the new jar as the original ones are converted. > best regards, > > Luc > > >> >> I meant >> s/breaking/cleanup/ >> s/breaking/improvement/ >> of course. :-) >> >> >> Gilles >> >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
