[Mulgara-dev] ITQL

[Paul Gearon]

Given the state of SPARQL and TQL in the system, there is a lot of
commonality. As more SPARQL code gets inserted it's becoming clear
that these packages should be close to one another. Unfortunately, all
of this "client" code is sitting in a directory called "itql", so it's
inappropriate to stick SPARQL specific code in there.... even though
anything doing SPARQL has to constantly reference it. I believe that
Alex is running into similar issues.

Ideally, I'd like to change the package from:
  org.mulgara.itql

To the following:
  org.mulgara.client
  org.mulgara.client.tql
  org.mulgara.client.sparql

For good measure, we'd have a legacy package of:
  org.mulgara.itql

And this can contain those classes that older code directly interfaces
with, such as ItqlInterpreterBean.

With this change, it no longer makes sense to have it in a directory
called itql, and compiling to a jar called itql-version.jar.  I'd like
to change the directory to "client" and the jar file to
client-version.jar. However, this is a change that will affect
everyone, so I can't just make it without consultation.

Can people please respond to this with thoughts/opinions/violent
dissent. If I don't get enough interested response then I'll make the
change anyway, and you'll be sorry that you didn't say something.  :-)
