Projects switching organisation

[lgringo]

Hi,

I'd like to write the descriptors for httpclient 4.0.1.

There's already the HttpClient 3.1 module, but HttpClient left the
Apache Commons project to become a part of Http Components (
http://hc.apache.org/index.html ).

So I'd like to know if I should update de httpclient 3.1 and keep the
same organisation ( org.apache.commons ), or restart from scratch
with a new organisation. Beside, the project has splitted into 2
packages (HttpCore and HttpClient).

Last but not least, the new package prefix is org.apache.http, the web
site is hc.apache.org and the Top Level Projet is name HttpComponents.
Which is the organisation name for IvyRoundup ?

To sum up, which solution should I use ?
Old organisation / package :
1. org.apache.commons / commons-httpcore, commons-httpclient

New organisation possibilities :
2. org.apache.httpcomponents
3. org.apache.http
4. org.apache.hc

Names of packages :
httpcomponents-httpcore, httpcomponents-httpclient

My favorite solution is 2.

Please, give your opinion.

Great, thanks for offering.

Go ahead and change whatever needs to change. E.g., use the new organisation name and new module name(s) as needed.

org.apache.http makes the most sense to me. We try to follow actual Java package names when possible.

I agree except module names can just be "httpcore" and "httpclient".

Thanks,
