Comment #17 on issue 258 by gili.tzabari: [Patch] custom annotation based  
injection points
http://code.google.com/p/google-guice/issues/detail?id=258

Stolsvik,

The complaint about having "foreign" package names in your import list is  
what I find
silly about James and your comments. Java isn't a "designed by a committee"  
language.
Many "standards" are de-facto standards that have eventually been folded  
into the
platform. Even C++ development requires one to #include many non-standard  
namespaces
for 3rd-party libraries.

Who cares what the package name is? The vast majority of Java libraries out  
there are
*not* by Sun. Nor should they be. Again, I find this whole argument very  
silly. The
package name is not an advertisment. According to JLS section 7.7 one is  
encourages
to take the company domain name (google.com in this case) and reverse it to  
form the
package name. Hence, "com.google". This is no different from sun.com  
using "com.sun".

I don't want to come off as an ass, but this entire argument is highly  
subjective. I
can't say that you are wrong, just that I personally disagree with your  
view for the
reasons I outlined above.
