If you are 100% certain that 4.0 needs to be incompatible, then it may be OK to change the package name immediately. Otherwise, I would be inclined leave the change of package name (and artifactId - don't forget to change that) until later in the process. Note that once the package name has been changed it's rather harder to run Clirr to see what the changes are. Clirr can be useful when generating release notes and the upgrade instructions. > best regards, > Luc > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org > >
