Benjamin Marwell updated FREEMARKER-223:
----------------------------------------
Description:
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.

That change should be reflected in FREEMARKER-222 as well, also see
