I would agree that it's too early to start thinking about 4->5. With eclipse it should be a pretty quick change if/when it is needed if we want to change the package names.
Compatibility should be looked at at some point, but hopefully as an after-thought so as not to clutter Howards head with competing design patterns. I think it'll end up being less of a big deal than people think. Hopefully not thinking about backwards compatibility as an overall design criteria doesn't give people the wrong impression of what is happening with development. It is important to address eventually, but not so early in the game. Even if the ultimate solution is a utility that you can run on a set of components/pages... On 6/26/06, Howard M.

That's an interesting idea. I can see pros and cons to it. For example, the code base may evolve to be Tapestry 5.1, 5.2 or even 6.0. I suspect there may be other problems with running Tapestry 4 and Tapestry 5 inside the same WAR or EAR beyond just the package name conflicts ... I'm not far enough along into Tapestry 5 to tell. Lets see what the other developers think. Benedict, Paul wrote: Howard, Do you have plans to rename the Tapestry 5.0 package as "org.apache.tapestry5" or something else? Since the new classes are incompatible with previous versions, I am concerned that this will force developers of legacy Tapestry sites to upgrade sites in one fell swoop. I'd prefer that I can run Tapestry 3 / 4 alongside 5 in a single application, migrating pages in pieces, otherwise adoption might be too high of a cost. Thanks!
