Re: gs-collections vs eclipse-collections

[Emmanuel Bourg <ebourg@apache.org>]

Hi Vincent,

libgs-collections-java is still used to build libreactor-core-java.

eclipse-collections is incompatible with gs-collections because the
package name was changed to org.eclipse.collections.

For these reasons I suggest to keep the gs-collections package for now,
and create a new eclipse-collections source package building
libeclipse-collections-java. The gs-collections repository on Salsa can
be cloned and used as a starting point for the new package.
