[egit-dev] Re: [EGIT PATCH] Rename org.spearce.egit -> org.eclipse.egit

[Robin Rosenberg <robin.rosenberg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Need an idea on how to proceed here. There is a problem related to updating
plugins here. We have renamed feature with one unrenamed plugin. How
to we avoid problem when switching from org.spearce to org.eclipse

One option is to release a v0.4.1 (which we should do anyway), which is the last
version from master before the split. For technical reasons this will be
a branch since the split occurred already.

That 0.4.1 feature should require jgit < 0.5. Then we jgit to v0.5 and
make org.eclipse.egit require jgit >= 0.5

Having two EGit features will be confusing. You get two of everything. E.g.
Team>Share will have two Git's to choose from, but you cannot tell which
is which.

That said, having both could be a feature, since it (didn't really try it), would
be possible to switch between new and old workspaces and get the plugin
configured for that workspace. The wierdness make me suggest we do
not do this. If we really want it we could choose to create a proxy plugin
for attaching old workspaces to the new plugins.
