Thanks Adrian. I was just starting to answer this but your answer
looks good.
The main thing that would be affected, as Adrian said, is that people
would have to change import statements and recompile in order for
their Java code to work with the framework after these sorts of changes.

Tim,
Now that I understand what David has in mind, I think I can answer.
The changes will affect anyone who has modified their copy of OFBiz
or anyone who has built modifications based on OFBiz. It affects
java code and any scripts that reference java classes.
The impact on users shouldn't be too great - mostly requiring
changing import statements.

David, if you wouldn't mind digging in a bit deeper here for me -
to explain it to the laymen - is this backward compatibility issue
only a concern for people who are changing the framework and need
to upgrade their own instances (vendor branches could be a problem
here), or if not, how does this effect the rest of us with
customizations / custom applications out there?
I just want to get a better understanding of what's next with
changes like this - so, any examples would be great. Thanks.
Cheers,
Tim
