Difference between Application and Service in Dropwizard

Viewed 5636

I'm new to Dropwizard. In the newest documentation, it refers to "Service" as the main entry point of any application. But in the example code, it actually uses "Application". I'm assuming that "Application" is a new name for "Service", since I can't find "Service" in the new source code.

I also noticed that the namespace has changed from "com.yammer" to "com.codehaus" to "io.dropwizard". I'm assuming it reflects the evolution of the project itself. Just out of curiosity, can anyone add some context to how this came about?
