Re: [Java-gnome-developer] Namespaces

[Nicola L. <nic...@gm...>]

I would agree with Unavowed on the dependency issue. The fact that these are
indeed Gnome bindings in the first place doesn't mean you can't make things
modular.
I don't know the actual state of the art (i'm waiting newer releases), but
i'd like very much to be able to write a gtk program without dependencies on
gnome.

About the packages name, that is less important and can well stay as it is.
That was just my opinion.

Good work, Nicola
