I keep all my Java files in the "normal" Java way as you have described above. I find Xcode's preferred "everything in one massive pile" too annoying to want to deal with. Apparently Art's room is even messier than mine! ;-)

        That's probably true :-)

<looks around room> I admit, it is rather hard to imagine.  :-P


However, my Xcode projects may not contribute much to the mess. I limit the number of Java packages per project to one. Instead of having multiple Java packages in each project, I create a new WO framework project for each new package. Certainly not the Java way of doing things, but I come from the Objective-C/Project Builder world where frameworks, not packages rule.


I've always looked at them more like Project Builder sub-projects rather than frameworks. I use them for a more finer grained separation where the classes have too much in common to belong in different frameworks but still benefit from some organization. I use a lot of frameworks too and it is not unusual for them to contain multiple packages. My minimum is two, with one for the main code and one for unit tests. But I also break things down into packages like appserver, pages, components, layout, utility, etc. Whatever makes sense in the context of what I am working on. I find it makes it easier to find things when you have hundreds of classes.
