Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-6270: ------------------------------------- Apart from the postings earlier here, I wonder if the required change couldn't just have been made available through a patch attached to this file... In stead an entire branch was created for what seems relatively small in size (http://svn.apache.org/r1675018). Please consider the storage footprint; a patch attached here is considerably smaller than an entire SVN branch, weighing also favourably in the cost of operations of the ASF. > base/json/JSON has been removed, with no deprecation window > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-6270 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6270 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: Bug > Components: framework > Affects Versions: Trunk, 12.04.04 > Reporter: Adam Heath > Assignee: Adam Heath > Priority: Critical > > The antlr-based json parser(at org.ofbiz.base.json.JSON.cc) was removed last > October(2014-10-27). However, no backwards-compatible class was left in > place, with a proper @Deprecation tag applied. > The proper approach should have been to leave the class in place, adding > @Deprecation, and leaving the json-lib.jar in place. Then, after one > successful release, removing the actual code. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
