Hi all, I would like to make an proposal how to process with the conversion from eu.iksprojet to org.apache.stanbol. The goal of this proposal is to keep the unique steps as simple as possible and to allow it to more easily track the changes.
Step 1: Agree on the code conventions and give everybody a change to commit local changes Step 2: Apply the code conventions to the current source Step 3: Change packages from eu.iksproject to org.apache.stanbol and adapt POM files so that stanbol builds with the new package names. I would not rename sub packages like rick -> entityhub within that step. Step 4: Apply all the changes within the source and configuration files. e.g. Changing constants, literals, log messages, namespaces of ontologies, metatype.properties ... but no other code changes. Step 5: other stuff and further development - common RESTful and web bundle - refactoring and renaming of sub packages - extensions to the enhancement structure (when we change the namespaces, it is the best time to also change the ontology, because than we break existing clients only once) - ... I think that the additional time needed to do the transition in 5 steps will not hinder ongoing work, because the time needed for step 1-4 can be used to prepare step 5 - meaning further discuss and agree on refactoring, new package/module names, enhancement structure extensions ...
