Doug and Amand writeth:
The Java documentation suggests a naming convention for packages
of <company>.<packagename>.... This reduces the problem to one of
company name collision, which is substantially less likely. As
Java becomes more successful, Sun or some third party could undertake
the registration of unique abbreviations for companies or other
entities that produce Java packages. Just your basic, garden-variety,
global namespace problem.
Note that Amanda and I will be hewing to this in the next release
of JCrypt, which will likely be something like dna.jcrypt.* instead
of just crypt.* (dna == Doug 'n' Amanda :-)
I writeth:
company name is not specific enough, however, the internet gives us
a unique naming convention. how about using domain names in reverse
order followed by a unique package name located at that host or
company.
