RE: [platform-vcm-dev] Re: Move Delete Hooks problem

["Clemm, Geoff" <gclemm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I assume by "inner packages" you mean packages nested
in the package namespace (e.g. package "x.y.z" is an
inner package of "x.y")?

I looked at bud id=22458, and the thread seems to
assume that renaming package "x" to be "xnew" should
not also rename "x.y" to be "xnew.y" and "x.y.z" to
be "xnew.y.z", but instead should just leave "x" in
place and move the classes defined in "x" to the
new package.

I'm interested in what is the basis for this opinion?

If a user just wanted to move the classes to a new
package, they could just do so.  What if they really
wanted to move "x" (and all its inner packages) to a
new package (just as would be done if you moved a
folder)?

Cheers,
Geoff

Geoff, 

Package1 can't be moved to Package2 using moveFolder ( in my example )
because user is trying to rename package1 but not all the inner packages.
Please refer to http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=22458 to know
more about this problem. 

Thanks
