spring-ws-support should not have split packages with spring-ws-core

[fhaubold]

Dear Spring WS team,

I want my application to use the Java Module System which does not allow shared packages between modules. My project imports two dependencies, spring-ws-core and spring-ws-support and does not compile with the following split package error:

module x reads package org.springframework.ws.transport.support from both spring.ws.support and spring.ws.core

Are there any plans to solve this issue by either rename one of the packages or move the classes into one dependency?
Is there a workaround until then? I already tried to use --patch-module without success.

Thank you!

Version: 3.1.1
JDK: corretto-11.0.11

Thanks for the report, and sorry it took so long to triage it.

I've noticed the split package recently and I think it's a bit late to deprecate/move those classes in 4.0.x but I want to deprecate them in 4.1.x so that I can remove them in 5.0.0.

Once we manage to remove them, we should remove the related Checkstyle exclusions as well.
