Hi forum,
I have a question regarding holding sources for deprecated nodes.
I have followed the rules in the noding guidelines: since the new node version is incompatible, I marked the node as "deprecated" in the factory xml, and removed it from the visible node tree.
But I didn't understand how to move the old source to src-deprecated. If I get it right, the node implementation is identified in the settings.xml via the "factory" entry, e.g.
<entry key="factory" type="xstring" value="org.knime.chem.base.node.io.mol2.Mol2ReaderFactory"/>
Is this correct? So I have to use a different factory-class in the plugin.xml, right? Otherwise the new node version would silently replace the old one, when loading the workflow.
So now I rename my package for the new node version, but I would rather like to rename the old one, and having the current one always in my standard package. E.g. now I have
- com.my_company.plugin.my_node
- com.my_company.plugin.my_node.v0201
where v0201 is my new, current version, but I would rather like to have
- com.my_company.plugin.my_node.old0200
- com.my_company.plugin.my_node
I hope you understand what I'm looking for. Thanks for any help!
