IMHO, yes transitional solutions are acceptable, and possibly even preferable.
*I* would like to see;
First Incubating Release - current package names.
Then (optionally) - compatibility layer where org.apache.river wraps the
com.sun.jini classes.
Last Incubating release - the com.sun.jini classes are the wrappers to the
org.apache.river classes.
First Full Apache release - only org.apache.river classes.
And I also think there is no contention about keeping the net.jini API classes
as-is, without package name changes, which is what the majority of the Jini
users actually refers to.
Would that work?
Cheers
Niclas
