Abstract
Apparatus and methods are described for adapting a programming environment to handle renamed programming constructs such as classes and packages. Non-canonical identifiers that reference renamed programming constructs can be used in code parts to be executed in the programming environment, and the code parts can execute, without disruption or user intervention, using related canonical identifiers. The solutions described herein provide backward and forward compatibility for code and data affected by renaming of programming constructs.
