[Gusdev-gusdev] Re: the nasty java package question

[Dave B. <db...@pc...>]

Right now, java classes in the GUS project have a package structure like 
the following:

org.gusdb.<componentName>.

Steve, before you said that you wanted to change this to

org.gusdb.<projectName>.<componentName>, which would make the package name 
more like the one you originally proposed.

We are currently using 'gusdb' instead of 'gusdev' in the GUS build 
system, although I don't know if there's a reason for that.  'gusdb' looks 
a lot less like a hack project though.  

I don't think there's too much wrong with long package names.  Right now, 
the typical java GUS object looks like this:

org.gusdb.model.schema.tableName

and it will eventually have 'gus' in between 'gusdb' and 'model.'  And 
don't even get me started on what the Annotators Interface package 
structure looks like.
