[starter-dev] Package name of demo code

[Alexander Rühl <alexander.ruehl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

just before year's end, I will throw a discussion into the round, where the answer seems to be a matter of taste rather than backed by any convention.

I currently work on adding groupId and artifactId in the UI with validation and respecting generated artifacts. I will leave the package name unchanged for now, but suppose we'd have groupId and artifactId already, what would you expect that the Hello.java class would get as package name (and thereby folder structure)?

Example: groupId = com.mycompany   artifactId = my-great-app

1. com.mycompany.my-great-app.Hello   (artifactId becomes part of package unchanged)
2. com.mycompany.mygreatapp.Hello   (hyphons will be deleted, the rest becomes part of package)
3. com.mycompany.my.great.app.Hello   (hyphons will be transformed to individual package parts)
4. com.mycompany.Hello   (no 2^nd part of package, just the groupId)
5. com.mycompany.something.else.Hello   (user specifies the package separately in UI)
6. com.mycompany.jakarta.hello.Hello   (package name is fix, regardless what the user entered as artifactId)

Interestingly, if you compare with several other starters out there (Microprofile, Quarkus, Micronaut, SpringBoot), they all handle that differently.

Happy New Year,

Alex
