In general, we have a Coding Style Guide that you can look at: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ACE/Java+Coding+Style+Guide > Another thing is: what package name should/can I use? org.apache.ace.launcher (and appropriate subpackages) sounds just fine. You can use that as the service.pid if necessary as well. If you then attach the code to a Jira issue, we can proceed from there. Greetings, Marcel
