If the Maven coordinates are changed, the package name must change, and vice-versa, or there will be problems with Maven classpaths. It's only *necessary* to change names if binary compatibility is broken. Even if not using Maven, the package name must be changed if binary compat. is broken. [This is because of the way that Java classes are loaded] I think it's a bad idea to change the names *just* because they are not "standard", as users will have to change all their source and rebuild. Effectively one is releasing a brand new component and asking users to switch to it. > Bill- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
