I'm in major refactoring mode/mood. :-) So I would like to finally make
the long due move from src/org/.. to src/java/org. We've discussed it
more than once and we didn't come to an end. So I would like to propose
the following:

We remove the files normally using CVS commands and readd them in the
new locations. I only want to do that in the trunk, not in the
maintenance branch. Result:
- No CVS surgery
- Ability to fully restore a state
- We lose the ability to diff a file using CVS any further back than
  when the move has taken place. (I think we can live with that.)

My main motivations for the move as such:
- Easier handling of FOP in IDEs
- Best practices confirmance
- Finish what we (I) started

If you guys agree with that, I will do the move someday next week
(during daytime CET). I will announce the start and the end of the move
so we don't have to clean up if someone commits anything in between.

Here's my +1.

If the vote fails, I would like a volunteer who comes up with a new
proposal, we vote again and this person does the change. 
Timeframe: max. 2 weeks.

If this sounds like blackmail, it's not intended. I just want to push
the process forward. I don't want to discourage -1s. 



As an option, we can also agree to do the same in the maintenance branch,
but since it's finally about to trail off (or so I hope). I've realised
today, that the new src/java-1.x directories make it virtually
impossible to compile FOP in Eclipse without the the move to src/java.

-0 from me, but I'd volunteer to do the move nonetheless.
