Also it is possible to have a library implementing single API in parts in different languages or a library could be rewritten in a different language while retaining API compatibility. > The issue of changing domain names when using the domain as package > name is much worse than only the maintainer having to do a multi-file > search and replace. I wonder if Oracle is going to rename all sun.* and com.sun.* packages in JVM. Also I don't see why one have to rename packages at all. Package name following the java conventions does not have to correspond to the registered domain owned by the project maintainer. >From the Java Code Conventions (http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConventions.doc8.html): "The prefix of a unique package name is always written in all-lowercase ASCII letters and should be one of the top-level domain names, currently com, edu, gov, mil, net, org, or one of the English two-letter codes identifying countries as specified in ISO Standard 3166, 1981. Subsequent components of the package name vary according to an organization's own internal naming conventions. Such conventions might specify that certain directory name components be division, department, project, machine, or login names." > Another annoyance with these loquacious.package.names is that they > require your source to be stuffed away in a column of useless > directories.

Every time I'm back in Java these things annoy me. This is more an IDE GUI usability issue. -- Mikhail -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
