[opencms-dev] OpenCMS 5.3.x and 5.0.1 modules

[Alexander Kandzior]

The 6.0 module API has changed so that old (5.0) modules need to be adjusted
to run with 6.0.

OpenCms 6 will be as backward compatible as possible with the 5.x releases.
Existing content from 5.x will be easily importable and require almost no
modification. However, for the sake of a clean and structured API, we have
decided to make improvements on the API level that will likley break
existing code. This means some changes of Java code in templates or custom
classes will be necessary to upgrade from 5.x to 6. Most obvious will be
renaming the packages from com.opencms.* to org.opencms.*. Making existing
code work will hopefully by just a matter of exchanging these import
statements and some minor adjustments.

Best Regards,
Alex.
