If it really is impossible to maintain backwards compatibility, then yes, you need to change Maven coordinates AND Java package name. Do not change one without the other. This means that end users will have to edit their source. Not changing package name at the same time as Maven coords will cause insoluble class loading problems for some applications. > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
