Re: [orbit-dev] Another exception to normal naming scheme: org.apache.xerces.xml.apis?
|
Hi David,
what's preventing a split into three different distributions? In my
opinion, naming it org.apache.xerces adds to the confusion since the
affected API's are now part of the standard and included in the JRE (I
think starting with 1.4).
Just out of curiosity, who needs these interfaces separately today?
Regards,
Thomas Hallgren

Fellow orbiteers,
I would like to get your review and confirmation that the name I've
come up with for "xml-apis.jar" is now acceptable.
To refresh your memory, this jar, currently named org.w3c.dom,
distributed by Xerces is actually a combination of three popular xml
releated standard interfaces,
javax.xml , org.w3c.dom, and org.sax. Hence, any package-based name we
picked would be a bit confusing. Second, there might
eventually be specific bundles for each of these three standard
interfaces, so we wanted to "leave room" for those.
At first, I tried just lterally the name of the jar, such as xml.apis,
but, that seemed a bit too short and not really using a unique
namespace,
so, I thought to add org.apache.xerces, which I think is good, since
it makes it more obvous that it "comes from" the xerces distribution.
My thought would be to leave both of them in place for a few weeks,
after announcing to cross-project and then removing the
old org.w3c.dom.
Sound ok?
