Re: [Springframework-developer] Package renaming

[Colin S. <col...@ex...>]

Alef,

Keep in mind that this is by no means a typical package renaming, where 
some packages change and some don't, leading to a lot of potential 
confusion.

After all, the only thing that is changing is
com.interface21
to
org.springframework

You can do a dead simple search and replace across the whole codebase 
and config files, and be assured that you have caught every instance. 
All relative references will remain the same, etc. On top of that, 
Spring has excellent junit test coverage.

Regards,
Colin
