Hi all due to a change in the parent POM the Bundle-SymbolicName of the commons-compress JAR changed from org.apache.commons.compress to org.apache.commons.commons-compress with version 1.18. So we've had a lot of releases up to 1.17 with one name and two newer releases with a different name in 1.18 and 1.19.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-498 Now we've got two options. 1. Call this a bug and revert to org.apache.commons.compress in 1.20. This will make users of Compress up to 1.17 happy when they upgrade. But it alienates people who used 1.1[89], in particular if they have already adapted to the new symbolic name. 2. Call this a mistake but stick to org.apache.commons.commons-compress for 1.20 and future releases. This will make users of Compress up to 1.17 unhappy when they upgrade, but makes upgrades seemless for people using 1.18 or 19. I'm more or less on the fence here as I'm not an OSGi user myself. Given that COMPRESS-498 came up more than a year after 1.18 has been released makes me think we either haven't got many OSGi users, they don't upgrade Compress frequently or they silently suffer and adapt to whatever we do.
