The problem about unique names doesn't apply to JAR files because you
can just rename them.

The JAR names are irrelevant even for your classpath. The Java VM will load classes of which the full class name may be in conflict with another, unless you use something you control as an identifier. That makes domains an ideal choice, since they serve as identifiers under some authority that owns them.

Let's at least be thankful we don't have to use URIs
(http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/04/13/namespace-uris.html).  :)


A java class name and a URI have exacly the same purpose, they identify resources. A java based URI could be something like java:my.domain.package.foo.Bar
