Well, the number is dependent on the strategy we are trying to achieve:
a) using '4' would indicate that every major version will have a new package
name, but then you can't use a major version to just remove deprections (a
compatible major version change)
b) using '5' would indicate the technology reason for the version. The package
would be commons-collections5-1.0.
c) using '5' as the commons name - commons5-collections-1.0
d) using '2' would just indicate a "major major" next generation release. The package would be commons-collections2-1.0.
I believe that our users will find "5 == JDK5" to be an easier concept to grasp
One reason that I proposed (c) is simply that when you say
"collections5" or "collections2" aloud it sounds like you're talking
about a version of Collections, whereas if you say
"commons5-collections" it's more suggestive of a fork, which is what
we're really trying to get at. Again, I think that this convention would
be useful for other commons projects trying to make the same switch.
(a) -0
(b) +0
(c) +1
(d) -0
