Package name from new PortletAPI

[Stephan Hesmer <sh...@raleigh.ibm.com>]

Hi,
as you all know, we would like to standardize the new Portlet API 2 and to
put it @ javax.portlet (like javax.servlet). But as long as it is not a
standard I would suggest to put it @ org.apache.javax.portlet (I've seen
similar package names in Turbine).

Jon, Raphael,
is there something we have to consider to obtain this? perhaps @ javasoft?
Or can I just put it @ org.apache?

Stephan

javax.* is reserved for packages that are the result of a JSR with a formal
commitee. So its obviously BAD to use it, and Sun lawyers can react on this one.
I don't know about policies in the Apache foundation for org.apache.javax.*

There is no javax. in turbine. Just some org.apache.java classes to make a bridge between jdk1.1 or Kaffe and
jdk1.2. In fact they are only used in TurbineUniqueIDService and the UUIdGenerator.

I think that while Jetspeed is a "pure" apache project, the API should be under
org.apache.jetspeed. It is fairly easy to move it after it gets stable to other packages.

But that's just my opinion.

You can't use javax.*. It is reserved for by Sun. The only way to get
something into javax.* is to go through the JCP. You don't want to do that.

I suggest:
    org.apache.jetspeed.portlet

There is no javax in Turbine. There is only org.apache.java and that is left
over from JServ. No one is using the org.apache.java package any longer I
don't believe.

thanks,
