[ice-dev] Note on naming packages

[Jay Jay Billings <jayjaybillings@xxxxxxxxx>]

Guys,

Just a quick note on naming packages.

If you have a package called

gov.ornl.cool.stuff.test

and you want to create a subpackage that cool stuff that is blue, then you should call it

gov.ornl.cool.stuff.test.blue

not

gov.ornl.cool.stuff.blue.test.

The reason for this is the way package naming conventions work. If the top level package is .test, subpackages are .test.*, not *.test. This is import in our case because it makes it much easier to rename packages.
