package name of "ibatis" sounds confusing to me. class name of IbatisAdapter sounds ok under the package of DatabaseAdapters.
since David Calavera is planning on building a HybernateAdapter (thanks david), it can directly go into this package and one will have a variety of database adapters to choose from. so these adapters could live in adapters/DatabaseAdapters package, unlike JcrAdapter and couchdb adapter. an extra level of package depth for these adapters..don't know how people feel about that.
