[embed-cdt-dev] Renaming features without breaking compatibility?

[Liviu Ionescu <ilg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Not long ago someone commented, probably in bugzilla or here, that it is possible to rename an Eclipse feature project without breaking compatibility.

Since in 2020-12 the project will be visible on the main download page, and I expect a somehow important number of downloads, perhaps it would be a good moment to rename the features to 'org.eclipse.embedcdt.*' before this release.


But this should be done only if there will be a smooth update path for those who use the current feature IDs.

Do you know of such a procedure to rename features?


Thank you,

Liviu
