My intention. I just wanted to get this started.

IMO that would make it hard to find.

This has nothing to do with package names. I followed the conventions
used in other Apache projects. The "java" directory is simply there to
separate the other stuff from the Java stuff. Think of the various IDEs
where you have to specify the Java source directories. Not having the
java dir includes all other subdirectories which could be confusing.

Also following other project's conventions. The config files get
included in the jar, so I think they ARE source.
