[mapguide-internals] RFC 129 is ready for review

[Jackie Ng]

Hi Greg,

There isn't a migration strategy as such beyond lower casing each method
name in the huge list of compiler errors that will eventuate when you
compile your existing java code against the enhanced API wrapper for the
first time, and renaming conflicting methods to their replacement
counterparts as described in this RFC.

A tool to simplify/automate this migration may be possible. If we go for the
simplest implementation, we'd have to run with the assumption that only
MapGuide is the non-standard Java API being used and that any other external
Java libraries follows the Java styles and naming conventions. 

That way, our migration tool can just hunt down all method calls in the java
source code with UpperCamelCase names and lower-case the first letter of
such occurrences.

- Jackie
