Needed steps on sources

[Guillaume Nodet <gn...@gmail.com>]

I'd like to know if we have to rename the packages to 
"org.apache.servicemix.*" or if we can keep the current ones 
"org.servicemix.*".
I think that we also have to modify the headers of all sources to 
include apache license, but i want to be sure about that.
Also what copyright should be used, as currently, there are different 
one used, and some files do not have copyrights ?

Cheers,
Guillaume

I don't think so; few other apache projects put the top level domain
inside the package name.

e.g. Synapse is in org.apache.synapse not org.apache.ws.synapse.

So if it must be in the Apache domain I'd suggest to keep package
names from getting too long to use org.apache.$projectname

But I wonder is the rename mandatory? I always thought it was but then
noticed the Roller project has kept its domain name - but then its
still in the incubator as well. Its not the end of the world but I am
a fan of short package names :)

Being licensed 2.0 is a given; the question is what are the current
rules on what that header looks like. So its more a question of what
the header & copyright line must look like. The current documentation
seems to suggest that the copyright should be assigned to Apache...

Shouldn't they belong to org.apache.geronimo.servicemix.* since 
ServiceMix is (going to be) a Geronimo subproject.

Exactly. I think however it's part of the incubation process it's 
currently being in progress. They all should become licensed with ASF 
License 2.0.

Could you please elaborate a bit more. All files should contain the 
license in their headers.
