NetBeans uses org.netbeans, and the domain is also being donated to Apache. It is not just an IDE, but is also a rich client platform, like Eclipse, so I don’t think just a reverse domain name should be justification for MUST. Surely part of the decision takes into consideration the life of the project along with what that reverse domain is. > 2) Projects who expect that their future users outnumber current users are > highly encouraged to rename packages > 3) Other projects are not required to rename packages and backward > compatibility is sufficient reason to not rename packages. > > Or should #2 also be a MUST?
