Rename JTA?

Paul Cager · External Since: Nov 30, 2006 Posts: 123

I am preparing a new upload of JTA to fix some bugs.

The source package is "jta" and the binary package is "jta". Should I
change the binary package to be "libjta-java", or leave it alone?

* Jta has no reverse dependencies.
* I'll be adding a "-doc" binary package, so it will end up in the
new queue anyway.

Thanks,
Paul

Is jta only a library package or does it include a standalone tool?

In the first case you should rename it. In the later case I would
prefer to keep the name. This would be the same situation as for ant or
checkstyle.

Cheers,
Michael

It doesn't provide an executable in /usr/bin (unlike ant), but it does
provide a useful Main class in the Jar (like checkstyle). So I think
that implies keep it as "jta".
