Yeah, “iotp” isn’t very clear/helpful. I’ve often used “wiotp” when referring to “Watson IoT Platform”. FWIW, wiotp's API’s base package name is com.ibm.iotf (IoT Framework) and Edgent’s connector was originally named “iotf”. Then renamed when they changed the name, but not package name, to “IoT Platform”.
+1 on a good naming scheme :-) Adding “ibm” and/or “watson” to the [package] name seems like a reasonable idea. Don’t forget about the “iotp" samples, website doc, recipes, and backward compatibility :-( Probably have to deprecate but retain the old names. — Dale > On Mar 20, 2018, at 5:10 AM, Christofer Dutz <christofer.d...@c-ware.de> > wrote: > > Hi, > > Well on our company in-house conference last Thursday to Sunday I had one > session on "implementing IoT Platform adapters for Apache Edgent" and I got > some people together and we started to work on an AWS IoT Connector.
