Here is my proposal, summarizing what has been discussed so far in this
thread and adding my own bias:
- commons-math 2.0 will target Java 1.5 as the minimal version
- the maven groupId will be changed from commons-math to
org.apache.commons (the artifactID is unchanged)
- all packages will be relocated under org.apache.commons.math2
If nobody complains (mainly about the third point), I am going to perform
these changes in branch 2.0 on Sunday.
I guess the third point gives me heartburn. Given the relatively small
number of incompatible changes, I do not see the need to make a
wholesale change to the package name and force all users to make
source-level changes to upgrade. I am +1 on fixing the maven groupID,
though and upping the required JDK level to 1.5.
I tend to agree with Phil here. The package rename is more likely to
cause more headaches than benefits IMO. Keeping in mind that already
math 1.x is being used with no problems in JREs 1.5+ I would suggest
postponing the rename until a concrete use case (ie not theoretical)
comes about.
That said I wholly agree on the groupId rename - which will take of the
vast majority of conflicts - and obviously agree on the JDK 1.5+ level
for math 2.x.
Cheers
