Re: BeanShell Package name...

Another solution can be to have two series of packages, one with the
real beanshell code, and the other one with wrappers, so it will be
possible to refactor all the classes with standardized name and in the
same time retain the compatibility with old apps.
Maybe using the same mechanism that uses (for instance) the jaxp package
with xerces (for wandering about jsr =) ), so in that way real package
name changing will be almost painless

Or another similar solution can be to change the package names without
taking care about compatibility problems, and also make a "compatibility
extensions" with the wrappers in the old (I mean actual) packages
structure, so for having backward compatibiltiy it's enough to add in
the classpath that extension.
