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

14 Aug 2009

      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:

This will add some more.

Here's my +1
