[jira] [Commented] (BCEL-222) Major release of BCEL requires updating package name and maven coordinate

["Andrey Loskutov (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BCEL-222?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15316399#comment-15316399 ] 

Andrey Loskutov commented on BCEL-222:
--------------------------------------

[~dbrosius]:  Is there any chance to undo the package rename? 
This change breaks FindBugs and almost every client of FindBugs API in a worst possible way.
This and smaller API breaks like renaming StackMapTable, StackMapTableEntry and changing Constants to Const aren't really required to support Java 8.
I think almost all of those changes can be easily undone, for example package renaming: https://github.com/iloveeclipse/commons-bcel/commits/old_structure.

>
> A major release (which 6.0 is) requires renaming the package and the maven coordinates to prevent class clashes with prior, non-compatible versions.
> Using commons lang as a template, I suggest:
> package 
> org.apache.bcel -> org.apache.commons.bcel6
> Maven
> groupId: org.apache.bcel -> org.apache.commons
> artifactId: bcel -> commons-bcel6
