Hi guys,<br>
<br>
This Tuesday (2-MAR-2013), a few technical changes will occur due
to Drools Planner's namechange.<br>
<br>
1) The github URL for Drools Planner will change from <br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://github.com/droolsjbpm/drools-planner">https://github.com/droolsjbpm/drools-planner</a><br>
to<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://github.com/droolsjbpm/optaplanner">https://github.com/droolsjbpm/optaplanner</a><br>
<br>
2) The groupId's and artifactId's will change from<br>
org.drools.planner:drools-planner-*<br>
to<br>
org.optaplanner:optaplanner-*<br>
<br>
3) The directory names will change accordingly.<br>
<br>
<b>If you have a clone/fork of the Drools Planner repository with
changes,</b><b><br>
</b><b>it's best to send in any changes in a pull request for
master by Monday evening</b><b><br>
</b><b>if you want to avoid a having to port those changes
manually.</b><br>
<br>
<br>
This namechange is the technical preparation for the more public
announcement we'll make in a few weeks.<br>
To avoid speculation, you can read about the full explanation of
the rename to OptaPlanner below.<br>

<h1>Drools Planner renamed to OptaPlanner</h1>
<p>As of version <code>6.0.0.Beta1</code>, <strong>Drools
Planner has been renamed to OptaPlanner</strong>.</p>
<h2> Why change the name?</h2>
<p>OptaPlanner is the new name for Drools Planner. OptaPlanner is
now standalone, but can still be optionally combined with the
Drools rule engine for a powerful declarative approach to
planning optimization.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>OptaPlanner has graduated from the <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.jboss.org/drools">Drools</a>
project to become a top-level <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.jboss.org/">JBoss Community</a> project.</p>
<ul>
<li>OptaPlanner (the planning engine) joins its siblings
Drools (the rule engine) and jBPM (the workflow engine) in
the KIE group.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>Our commitment to Drools hasn't changed.</p>
<ul>
<li>The efficient Drools rule engine is still the
recommended way to do score calculation.</li>
<li>Alternative score calculation options, such as pure Java
calculation (no Drools), also remain fully supported.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2> How will this affect your business?</h2>
<p>From a business point of view, there's <strong>little or no
change</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The mission remains unchanged:</p>
<ul>
<li>We're still 100% committed to put <em>business resource
optimization</em> in the hands of normal Java
developers.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>The license remains unchanged (Apache Software License
2.0). It's still the same open source license.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Red Hat is considering support subscriptions offerings for
OptaPlanner as part of its <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.redhat.com/products/jbossenterprisemiddleware/business-rules/">BRMS</a>
and BPM platforms.</p>
<ul>
<li>A <em>Tech Preview</em> of OptaPlanner is targeted for
BRMS 6.0.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2> What has changed?</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p>The website has changed to <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.optaplanner.org">http://www.optaplanner.org</a></p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The distributions artifacts have changed name:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Jar names changes:</p>
<ul>
<li> <code>drools-planner-core-*.jar</code> is now <code>optaplanner-core-*.jar</code>
</li>
<li> <code>drools-planner-benchmark-*.jar</code> is now
<code>optaplanner-benchmark-*.jar</code> </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>Maven identification groupId's and artifactId's
changes:</p>
<ul>
<li>groupId <code>org.drools.planner</code> is now <code>org.optaplanner</code>
</li>
<li>artifactId <code>drools-planner-core</code> is now
<code>optaplanner-core</code> </li>
<li>artifactId <code>drools-planner-benchmark</code> is
now <code>optaplanner-benchmark</code> </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>As usual, for more information see the Upgrade Recipe
in the download zip.</p>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>The API's namespace has changed. As usual, see the Upgrade
Recipe on how to deal with this efficiently.</p>
<ul>
<li>Starting from 6.1.0.Final, OptaPlanner will have a 100%
backwards compatible API.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p>OptaPlanner gets its own IRC channels on <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://freenode.net/">Freenode</a>:
<code>#optaplanner</code> and <code>#optaplanner-dev</code></p>
</li>
</ul>
