Hi David,

That's a good point - I hadn't really thought of it that way. I'm happy with us converting the package names at any time based on how people feel.

I'm not a developer, but I'd also recommend that the name change and the switch to use Maven would best be done quickly.

It's a group decision. I'd like others on the team to also express their opinions to see if there is consensus as to how (quickly) to proceed.

And yes, I think that the dev team as a whole feels that, given that
JSecurity's build environment is not complex at all, that Maven would be good to incorporate asap for the inter-team benefits in the ASF as well as for our user community. Our existing releases aren't published to a Maven
repo yet, but that will change shortly, I'm sure.

Best,

Les

necessary.

I'm recommending this because there are a few people that regularly build snapshots for trunk for integration testing (Grails plugin, et. al), and
I'd
like to avoid any headache for them until absolutely required.

Would this be ok?  Any objections?  What does everyone think?


I'm inclined to think that changing the package names will result in a great deal of breakage all over the place and doing it as soon as possible
is more likely to result in a working first release.

I'm not sure if you are using maven style artifact ids.... I hope so... but these will be changing too at the same time so at least with maven built projects people will still be getting the old package named jars until they
explicitly upgrade.

thanks
