Proposal 1: package naming for 4.x ---------------------------------- We adopt a system where packages contain a default implementation, and nothing more, where the default implementation is the first. The default implementation classes use a prefix of "Default". Subsequent implementations go into subpackages of that package. A descriptive name for the subpackage is chosen if this is practical, otherwise we use a nondescriptive name.
This is done for new and unreleased components, and for released components when feasible. ie: org.apache.avalon.excalibur.${package}.Default${packageImpl} org.apache.avalon.excalibur.${package}.${alternative}.${Alternative}${packag eImpl} example: org.apache.avalon.excalibur.component.DefaultComponentManager org.apache.avalon.excalibur.component.caching.CachingComponentManager org.apache.avalon.excalibur.component.dagger.DaggerComponentManager Note: alternatives to "Default" could be "Standard" or "Excalibur". However, I feel "Default" is most descriptive. Also, "Excalibur" to me implies that this is _the_ component provided by excalibur implementing a specific interface, instead of _a_ component. Proposal 2: package naming for 5.x ---------------------------------- As above, but without the "avalon" in the package name, and for all components, released and unreleased. ie: org.apache.excalibur.${package}.Default${packageImpl} org.apache.excalibur.${package}.${alternative}.${Alternative}${packageImpl} example: org.apache.excalibur.component.DefaultComponentManager org.apache.excalibur.component.caching.CachingComponentManager org.apache.excalibur.component.dagger.DaggerComponentManager regards, - Leo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
