Re: [science-iwg] Review BoF EclipseCon

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

At Eclipse, we assign ids to projects. The ids take the form of <top-level>.<project>. So we have, for example, projects named technology.egit, and technology.kura. We also have more deeply nested projects like modeling.emf.cdo. In general, I tend to discourage that sort of project nesting primarily because it's just not necessary. The project id is not widely exposed. It is part of the URL for project "information pages" (e.g. http://projects.eclipse.org/project/technology.egit).

The last segment of the id is the short name (e.g. technology.kura's short name is "kura"); we use that in the Java package and OSGi bundle names (e.g. org.eclipse.kura). We tackle namespace rules for other languages as they come up. That name is also used for the project's optional website (e.g. http://www.eclipse.org/kura) and downloads directory (e.g. http://download.eclipse.org/kura). I encourage the use of the short name in wiki page names as well (e.g. "Kura/Getting Started").

Using just the short name in namespaces makes it far less disruptive on adopters/consumers when a project switches from, say the Technology top-level project to the new and shiny Science top-level project.

HTH,

Wayne

Before everyone gets too committed to this namespace, let's check with Wayne Beaton. My recollection is that the current recommendation is that project namespaces be simply org.eclipse.projectname, and not include the top-level project. 

But Wayne's the guy who knows :)

Just to add, I also feel OK with the package hierarchy suggestions other than the name of the project top level;-)

Hi All,

+1 for org.eclipse.science.*, just because it's nice and generic and
probably un-trademark-able.

Other than that I like Matt & Philip's suggestions.

Cheers,
Stephan
