 After reasonable support to the idea on Jakarta and Commons lists,
 this is a vote to move BCEL and JCS to Apache Commons.

 As part of the move, I'll nominate any active committers for Commons
 karma (so far: dbrosius, asmuts, tv -- anyone else, please ping this
 thread).

 Since neither may have enough PMC members active, this vote will be
 held by lazy consensus. If you object to moving either/both, please
 also provide a reason and an alternative course of action.

 Vote runs for 72 hours. Vote is being held on general@jao but is being
 cross-posted to ensure we reach the full audience.

I've not looked at JCS; I've done a bit of tinkering on BCEL.

+1 to moving them.

But I hope the move won't *require* the package names to be changed to
o.a.commons.
Likewise Maven ids.

If later on it proves necessary to make an incompatible API change,
that would be the point to change package names.

But I think users would be understandably upset if the package or
Maven name was changed unnecessarily, and I will vote -1 against any
such change.

I agree. There is precedent for not changing package names when things
move to Commons, so I think most also agree with your thinking above.

 Jakarta is no longer a sustainable home for Java libraries like BCEL
 and JCS. Commons, OTOH, is widely suited to such components and has a
 much more active community. Therefore, I want us to explore the
 possibility of moving BCEL and JCS to Commons. Assuming there is
 interest in doing so here at Jakarta, I'll be happy to float the idea
 over on the Commons side.
