Package names soon to be changed

2004-05-20 14:58

 

Hi,

 

I copy/paste this paragraph from the "Future directions" page on the site and in the docs:

 

>>

Starting with the next version of the JasperReports library, there will be a change in the Java package hierarchy.

The present root package called "dori.jasper" will be renamed/replaced with the new one "net.sf.jasperreports".

All packages inside this root package will keep their original relative path. For instance, the current package named "dori.jasper.engine.util" will become "net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util" and the present "dori.jasper.engine.JasperExportManager" will be renamed to "net.sf.jasperreports.JasperExportManager" and so forth.

<<

 

I want this move to be acknoledge by all those who

will be directly affected when upgrading to future

versions of JasperReports.

 

Thank you,

Teodor

Hi,

 

Currently, the packages have a non-standard name:

dori.jasper.xxx

 

And since our goal is to make JasperReports a standard

open source reporting solution, we'd like to have

standard names for all the packages inside the library.

 

In the future we'll probably support better integration

with IDE's like Eclipse through plugins and we need to have

a standard package hierarchy to rely on.

 

This change would only require you to change inside

all your source files the "dori.jasper" sequence with

the "net.sf.jasperreports" sequence.

 

Thank you,

Teodor

Hi,

 

What about making package names something like-

 

net.jasperreports.*

com.jasperreports.*

org.jasperreports.*

Hi,

 

The JasperReports website is hosted

at sourceforge.net since september 2001.

Here at sourceforge.net we really feel at home.

 

Thank you,

Teodor

Hi,

 

This change is already visible in the CVS repository.

 

The old hierarchy is placed for backup reasons

into a module called "jasperreports-dori" at the

same CVS path as the main module and will not

evolve in the future (only little bugfixes maybe).

 

server: cvs.sourceforge.net

repository path: /cvsroot/jasperreports

module: jasperreports-dori

 

Thank you,

Teodor
