Currently the module names seem to be:

• jsr354-api-bp: javax.money
• jsr354-ri-bp: moneta.bp

For the the non-backported versions they are:

• jsr354-api: java.money
• jsr354-ri: org.javamoney.moneta

I'm not sure if the -bp versions and the non-bp versions should have the same module name or not (there might be some issues if they're the same), but at the very least the backport version should have a module name starting with org.javamoney..

It would also be nice to see some (more?) documentation on "the big picture" for how JavaMoney is handling Java Modules in both the backport and non-backport versions.

p.s. I'm willing to help with this.

The Travis build
https://travis-ci.org/JavaMoney/jsr354-api-bp

fails with some obscure error message:

Why would the build system change to Gradle?

Looking at ideas for Android support like JavaMoney/javamoney-shelter#17 we should ensure, the BPs also work there. API even Java ME Embedded 8, too (which is largely compatible with Java SE 7 anyway)

• Maven POM and settings.xml, see https://central.sonatype.org/pages/apache-maven.html, remove distributionManagement because backports are not supposed to be updated anymore, preparing to archive them.
• Remove CI server

Hi,

We must not use the "javax.money" in two places even if the BP had a different Maven groupId, that's illegitimate.
JSR 310 may have a lot of nasty mistakes (like circular dependencies, redundancies, etc.) but the BP was done properly so far in a
package org.threeten.bp;

Should do the same for the API:
Either
package org.javamoney.bp;
or
package org.javamoney.bp.api;

Depending on how the "RI Backport" should look like.
Therefore I would suggest calling it
org.javamoney.bp.impl;
if the repository was something like "javamoney-impl-bp"
or
org.javamoney.moneta.bp;
if we go for "javamoney-moneta-bp" (or just "moneta-bp")

WDYT?

As I see, Java 8 was mostly adopted by market, so maybe we don't need backport to 7?
In the same time, a lot of business software was writen with old Java like 4 and 6.

The .iml file should not be in Git. And added to .gitignore.
