[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Rendering API change: move Syntax classes to syntax package

Hi, I'd like to move syntax-related classes to org.rendering.syntax package. These are: - Syntax - SyntaxFactory - SyntaxType Right now they are in the org.rendering.parser package but that's not right since Syntax classes are used in Listeners, Parsers, Transformations, etc which are all top level rendering packages. This will break the API and is not backward compatible (for those using the rendering api directly) which is why I'd like to do this ASAP so that it's in XE 2.0 (which doesn't have to be backward compatible). Note that we already have lots of api breakage for the rendering module: <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/listener/chaining/ AbstractChainingListener</exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/renderer/EventsRenderer</ exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/renderer/ PlainTextRenderer</exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/renderer/TexRenderer</ exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/renderer/XHTMLRenderer</ exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/renderer/ XWikiSyntaxRenderer</exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/renderer/ PrintRendererFactory</exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/renderer/PrintRenderer</ exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/renderer/chaining/ AbstractChainingPrintRenderer</exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/renderer/xhtml/ DefaultXHTMLImageRenderer</exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/renderer/xhtml/ DefaultXHTMLLinkRenderer</exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/renderer/xhtml/ XHTMLRendererFactory</exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/util/RenderersUtils</ exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/parser/SyntaxFactory</ exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/renderer/xhtml/ XHTMLImageRenderer</exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/renderer/xhtml/ XHTMLLinkRenderer</exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/parser/SyntaxType</ exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/macro/descriptor/ MacroDescriptor</exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/renderer/printer/ MonitoringWikiPrinter</exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/configuration/ RenderingConfiguration</exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/macro/MacroManager</ exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/block/MacroBlock</exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/macro/AbstractMacro</ exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/macro/descriptor/ AbstractMacroDescriptor</exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/macro/descriptor/ DefaultMacroDescriptor</exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/block/ PlainTextBlockFilter</exclude> <exclude>org/xwiki/rendering/util/ParserUtils</exclude> This will add some more. Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent
