Ah, well, the only unfortunate problem with calling it 2.5 is that you already have a 2.3. No one is going to realize you intend it as a half-jump release (like Tomcat 5.0 and 5.5).

It's a good thought, but if you do that, then there's no incremental migration path between S2 and S3. On Tue, Mar 19, 2013 at 10:02 AM, Lukasz Lenart wrote: > 2013/3/19 Paul Benedict : > > If we name the Java package "org.apache.struts3", we will keep a > migration > > path open for *both* S1 an

If we name the Java package "org.apache.struts3", we will keep a migration path open for *both* S1 and S2. The perspective we should have, I think, is that we are one of many front-end technologies and it's *necessary* for multiple versions of Struts to be used at the same time. Even if it is not n

Before reading Lukasz's message [1], probably I would have said that changing the package name to struts3 would have been a good idea. After all, many Apache Commons projects have chosen this schema. As you know, you can use two versions of commons lang without experiencing any problem. However, I

I professionally work on a huge project where S1 is used everywhere. The best upgrade path for us is to put S2 in the web container, write new actions in S2, and convert the old S1 actions during maintenance. This scheme is only possible because S2 uses a different package name. If S3 is going to
