This is where I question whether it is a good idea to just replace

that bringing this up is likely to stall the discussion and reduce
the chances of OFBiz ever using Moqui, and the great thing for Moqui
and OFBiz that it could be. Still, the effort required to do that
migration is significant and IMO it would be far less effort to start
with Moqui and Mantle and basically rewrite OFBiz to be a
comprehensive business automation application suite, just as it is
now, but cleaned up and streamlined for both developers and end-users
in ways that are only dreamed of for OFBiz right now.
The discussions so far have been around just replacing the OFBiz
framework with Moqui. There is a separate discussion going on about
reorganizing higher level artifacts differently.
I was thinking we could create a thunk component to ease the
transition to Moqui. The thunk component would map existing Java
packages to the Moqui API, and then we can make changes to client code
as time allows.
The maven shade plugin can remap java packages.
