Re: [Quickfix-developers] CVS Repository changes: renamed java org.quickfix.* to quickfix.*

[Oren M. <ore...@ya...>]

Yeah, they are all being squatted.  We've been offered
some of them for way above cost.  Instead I just went
and registered quickfixengine.org/com/net for a grand
total of about $50.  It's a good domain name so I'm
happy with that.  I decided to rename the namespace to
quickfix instead of org.quickfixengine or
net.quickfixengine, or com.thoughtworks or whatever
because I only wanted to do this once instead of
potentially multiple times due to domain name changes
that happen for various reasons.  It looks like
setting namespaces based in domain names is going out
of vogue and I can see why.  If your domain name
changes you have to restructure your entire repository
as a result.  A very bad and unecessary thing.

I'd like to hear the oppinions of more experienced
java developers, but this is the trend I have been
witnessing.
