[threeten-dev] Freezing the API for M6

[Roger Riggs]

Hi,

To enable the 310 API to be included in the M6 JDK build [1] the API must
be stable and frozen in its near final form for a couple of weeks.

The javax.time packages will be renamed to java.time.* and cleanup
of the javadoc and build mechanisms will be done.  After the change,
developers  will need to use the JDK build mechanism or adapt their
toolchains to mimic the JDK build.  The new build-Infra build system is
quite quick on incremental updates.

The javadoc will be generated for the reviews necessary before OpenJDK
integration.

As of Jan 6th, API changes will need to be deferred for a couple of 
weeks and
finding and fixing bugs in the implementation is encouraged.  
Specification (javadoc)
changes to remove erroneous material are encouraged or to clarify the 
behavior.
Please file issues [2] to track changes or problems.

Thanks, Roger
