Package: java-common Severity: important Version: 0.47 I just had a read over the policy http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/
One thing not mentioned is the use of namespaces/package names in Java The vast majority of projects use unique namespaces, specifically, using a registered domain name as a package name. A few projects exist without following this convention, and sooner or later somebody may try to package one of them. According to the Java Language Specification, using a domain name is a "suggested convention" and not a mandatory obligation. Nonetheless, in an environment such as Debian where we have to keep many different packages concurrently on a single system, I would contend that we should mandate the use of this "suggestion" http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-6.html#d5e6504 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
