Hi Shane,
With TrAX the user should not have to deal with package names,
translet class names and output directories. With the new TrAX
design we wrap the translet class and auxiliary class definitions
inside the Templates object. The user will not even know what
the translet class name is (nor whould he/she have to), the
translet is not written to a disk (the user can serialize the
Templates object in which the class definitions is stored), and
there is no package name used.
