DirectoryGenerator extends TraversableGenerator


We've been through this before:

In a word: backward compatibility.


Wow, 2 years ago! And what about starting a real migration now by starting with the unclean way (DirectoryG extends TraversableG with old namespace and directory/file metaphore as you wrote it), deprecating it at the same time and making the TraversableG the officially supported one?


just one note re such a migration. Wouldn't it make sense to actually "rename" the TraversableGenerator to CollectionGenerator and introduce something like
ResourceGenerator (or does that exist already?) and do

  DirectoryGenerator extends CollectionGenerator
  FileGenerator extends ResourceGenerator

such that the terminology is consistent?
