Great news!
I think it's best to change the package names now instead of later.

Some good news for Cactus users ! Cactus has been accepted as a top level
project. It will no longer be a sub project of Jakarta-Commons but will be
a
standalone project, at the same level as Tomcat, Ant, Struts, Velocity, ...
As you may have read on this list, I had announced a few weeks ago that
Cactus 1.2 would be delivered around the 15th of September (that's
tomorrow). In view of this major event, I would like to postpone the 1.2
release by a few days (possibly a week), so that we have enough time to
make
the move to Cactus' new location.
All this should be very good news for everybody as it means Cactus is being
recognized as a mature framework. It also means Cactus will get more
visibility and thus more help to continue its development. However, there
is
one drawback : the package names will have to change from
"org.apache.commons.cactus" to "org.apache.cactus". I have sent last week a
mail asking if that would cause trouble to Cactus users. I've received only
2 answers saying it was ok. I really think this is a change that must be
done ASAP, which is why I prefer to delay the Cactus 1.2 release and
incorporate this change within this release. However, I am still open to
suggestions (provided they come fast !).
Thanks
