Short Takes
A curated collection of some of the most relevant and timely blogs and tutorials by Eclipse community members.
Hot Topic: Jakarta EE Package Naming
When it was announced in May 2019 that the javax package namespace can’t be modified by the Eclipse Foundation community, the great debate about how to handle this very challenging constraint started in earnest.
Here are two very interesting blogs on this hot topic:
- Alasdair Nottingham advocates investing in a “zero migration” approach to package renaming based on four necessary, but not always easy, requirements. Read Alasdair’s blog.
- BJ Hargrave explains how a rules-based tool he has prototyped can be used to rename Jakarta EE packages in binaries. Read BJ’s blog.
