It isn't strictly necessary, here is what the documentation says: On Repackaging
It is recommended - but not mandated - that source is repackaged under the Apache namespace. There is no need to use the incubator namespace. For example, Java source might be repackaged to org.apache.foo.Bar or a DTD to http://dtd.apache.org/foo/bar. Existing open source projects moving to Apache may well need to consider carefully how they will approach this transition. My suggestion is to repackage before the first release, though. This way applications written against the early release will have the right namespace already. -Flavio > On 10 Sep 2016, at 20:32, Sijie Guo <[email protected]> wrote: > > Any suggestions from mentors for the first release? > > - Sijie > > On Tue, Aug 30, 2016 at 11:18 PM, Sijie Guo <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Does anyone know if it is required to repackage the namespace to under >> org.apache for the first release?
