          Description

          The proposal is to create a "jspwiki-api.jar", which would contain all the interfaces and classes from "com.ecyrd.jspwiki.api" -package. This would be a new package, which contains a set of interfaces (and probably some basic datacontainer classes) to provide access to JSPWiki innards.

          The design of the API set is available in http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/JSPWiki3APIDesignProposal

              I actually propose now that we forget this and just get on with the release. We'll have a whole new round of discussions on what should be in those pages and what not. If anything, we should start a separate project e.g. under "org.jspwiki" space to provide an API package and then retrofit ourselves to that API.

              Agreed on all points.

              Does this require an official vote on the mailing list ?

              We haven't had any activity on this issue for a while, so I would like to recap my latest proposal for this issue.

              Per a friendly beer discussion I had with Janne last year (plus a few follow-up e-mails), I propose we do the following:

              • The official API package, for stable interfaces (primarily) and stable classes (where possible) is "org.apache.wiki".
              • The implementation package is "org.apache.wikibase" or "org.apache.wikicore". This package name is still fairly short and snappy, but isn't as ugly as tacking on an "-impl" suffix to "wiki" might be.
              • Separate Eclipse source folders for the two package trees.
              • Separate JAR files for the wiki.* and wikbase.* classes.

              Can I request a vote on this? Please post your comments in JIRA.

              As this is a part of the 3.0 API promise, it should be considered as blocking.
