Benjamin Marwell commented on FREEMARKER-223:
---------------------------------------------
Hi, sorry for the brief description. I updated it a bit.
> JPMS: Split package; use org.freemarker as root package
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FREEMARKER-223
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-223
> Project: Apache Freemarker
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: engine
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Benjamin Marwell
> Priority: Major
>
> h2. Problem description / Motivation
> All jar files should have one unique package root.
> However, freemarker uses just "freemarker" as root package.
> While this is not a problem, it is uncommon. It does not reflect the reverse
> domain (org.freemarker or org.apache.freemarker).
> I propose this to bechanged to {{org.freemarker}} instead.
> h2. Side effects.
> Only for v3, the root package should be changed to "org.freemarker".
> Since v3 is a major version, this is not a problem for users as breaking
> changes are expected.
> With the current idea of splitting support of various technologies into new
> jar files (artifactIds) and maybe even a relocation, this could users lead to
> having multiple versions of freemarker in their class path.
> However, if they know what they are doing, this could actually be an
> advantage if they need to support the old version for a bit.
> h2. Related
> See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-224 for the module name
> change.
