10g: Cannot remove package from "model" (business components)

Question

Using the new 9.0.5.1 JDev. I have removed all of the object in a package.Security package, because i did not want the capital letter in the package name (suspected of causing some other problems in my workspace). I cannot create a package.security package at all now. after just browsing the project defination, and looking in some other xml files, I see that the package is still defined all over the place, even without files in it.
Why is this persisted? Shouldn't it be cleaned up when the last file is removed?
Or at least, shouldn't I be able to remove it from my project without hacking all the XML code?

Answer 1

package is an illegal name for a package in Java, I believe, so let's assume you started with "test.Security" package name.
I filed Bug# 3574928 for the problem that exists in trying to "Move to Different Package..." if the destination package only differs from the target package by a different of case.
The workaround in the meantime is to:
1. Shift-select components in "test.Security" package and right-mouse "Move to Different Package...".
2. Use a package name temporarily like "test.security2"
3. Do "View | System Navigator" to see the System Navigator.
4. Use System Navigator to erase the "test.Security" package by clicking on the BC4J package and right-mouse "Erase from Disk..."
5. Close the project, and reopen it.
6. Shift-select components in "test.security2" package and right-mouse "Move to Different Package...".
7. Specify "test.security" as the target package.
