Remove deprecated frameworks directory and scripts
--------------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-3026
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3026
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Task
Components: Demos/Scripts
Affects Versions: 10.4.0.0
Environment: N/A
Reporter: John H. Embretsen
Priority: Trivial
Fix For: 10.4.0.0
The 10.2.1.6 release notes said:
"New scripts have been added in the bin directory which follow Apache
conventions. The scripts in the frameworks directory are deprecated and may be
removed in future releases."
DERBY-1709 added a warning message in the scripts in the frameworks/ directory,
as well as a textual file (frameworks.DEPRECATED.txt) in the root of the
installation tree warning that the frameworks/ directory has been deprecated
and that scripts in the bin/ directory should be used instead. This was
committed after the 10.2.2.0 release, to both the trunk and the 10.2 branch
(before the 10.3 branch was created).
The presence of both a frameworks/ directory and a bin/ directory is annoying
to some users, and confusing to others. There is obviously a balance to keep
between pleasing such users and other users who want backwards compatibility.
Perhaps the next feature release (10.4?) is the right time to remove the
frameworks/ directory once and for all, since deprecation warnings have been
issued for the past two feature releases (10.2 and 10.3, though stronger in
10.3 than 10.2), giving users time to adjust.
Marking "Release Note Needed" since it is important to make such changes
visible to users.
This change may affect existing applications that are still using the
deprecated scripts in the frameworks/ directory.
