Hi,
looking into changing all of my code to name spaced code, like changing JFactory::getApplication(); to \Joomla\CMS\Factory::getApplication();
The autocomplete of my ide tries to help me (very kind of him/her), but also makes me wonder what the following paths / libraries are for:
1. .\libraries\vendor\joomla
2. .\libraries\legacy
3. .\libraries\src
Can somebody explain?

- Vendor is from the framework.
- Legacy contains deprecated classes which will be removed on some point.
- Contains the namespaced classes. And is the root folder for the files in the namespace Joomla\CMS.

Top @laoneo!
Thanks for the info: 3. (.\libraries\src) was introduced in Joomla 3.8? That would mean that using the name spaced classes would break the extension on < 3.8. Is that a correct assumption?

Namespaced classes are introduced in 3.8. The global namespace class names are usable through class aliasing until 5.0. So unless your code is only targeting 3.8+ you don't need to worry about doing a mass change for the moment, but for new projects I'd definitely encourage it.

Yes.

I have committed my support to N-1 where N equals the current version (so support for 3.8 (N) and 3.7 (N-1)). So question is: will \Joomla\CMS\Factory::getApplication(); work on Joomla 3.7.x?

Top! and thanks for thinking along! So for me currently a 'no go' until 3.9 sees daylight :)
