Hello Qpid-Dev, [email protected], [email protected],

During the Apache Qpid Java Broker 6.0.4 release Craig Russel
pointed out that this name is at odds with Oracle's guidelines
for third party usage of its trademarks, in particular the Java
trademark [1,2].

This email is to inform interested parties of our planned course
of action.

 * The Qpid Webpage [3] and public communication like release
   announcements should refer to "Apache Qpid for Java"
   or "Apache Qpid x.y.z for Java" when referring to a specific
   version.

 * Other places that are deemed "public" should be updated
   similarly.  Places that need changing include but might not be
   limited to the documentation (docbooks), the NOTICE and
   DEPENDENCIES files, console output of startup scripts and the
   broker itself, name and description of the main Maven
   artifacts (not the artifactIds).  These changes will be
   backported to the 6.0.x branch.

 * Internal references (e.g., code comments) will be changed
   incrementally going forward.

If there are no concerns or objections to this we will start
implementing these changes later this week so that they will be
in place for the next release.


Kind regards,
Lorenz Quack
