 The JNI bindings are a real pain to update, so the Java bindings lag
 behind the others.  I've just fixed the SWIG-generated bindings in the
 java-swig subdirectory to be in the org.xapian package, which was one of
 the major blockers.

 I think 1.3.0 is a good time to make the switch.  I doubt we can retain
 100% source code compatibility with the old bindings, but it would be good
 to keep compatibility where we can.  Ultimately though, users will be
 better served by up-to-date bindings, so the pain of having to update
 existing code will be worthwhile.
