Hi Tatu,
Today only I came to know about Google groups for Jackson. If it's too late
for the proposal, please ignore my mail.
While reading JSTEP-1, I noticed there is proposal for big name change with
V3 as "org.jackson". So, Instead of adding version number in maven and
package(".jackson." with ".jackson3."), Can we go with bigger name change
mentioned in the proposal as "org.jackson" or something similar like
"io.jackson" or "com.jackson". It clearly indicate and different three
generations of jackson.
- 1st gen (2009-13) - org.codehaus.jackson
- 2nd gen (2012-22) - com.fasterxml.jackson
- 3rd -gen (2002+) - org.jackson
I understand the special case with jackson-annotations, but still one time
of big change is acceptable instead of mix matching with versions. I feel
like tools such as OpenWrite can help the developers to automate these
changes down the line. So in future it might become usual to integrate such
as tool as part of CI for library upgrade to fix breaking changes.
Regards
Anbu
