Thanks Jukka -- the plan is to bring in the code as is
and make the changes you described (essentially
com.sun.* --> org.apache.river.*).
Question, though -- is it required that we make that
change before we make an initial release?
You wouldn't be the first one asking to keep a namespace for
compatibility sake, see
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/WicketProposal. However, the recent
beta from the Wicket guys is in the org.apache.wicket namespace.
I'm not sure if there are any stringent and formal rules from the ASF,
but indeed I would be very reluctant in releasing Apache code under a
non-Apache namespace, unless packages are carved in stone by an
implemented standard (such as javax.xml and, I assume, net.jini)
For the com.sun.jini classes I think it is not a question of "if" the
they will be moved to the org.apache.river name space, but "when". I
think there was some notion that there was value in making one (or two?,
my memory is fuzzy) release with com.sun.jini name space to ease the
transition and make it straightforward for people to integrate any delta
they have made against the last release of Sun's Jini starter kit.
