I would just name it either DSL or JooqDSL and, as said earlier, move it from org.jooq.impl to org.jooq. I don't think it's important that the class must have a unique name that has not yet been used in any other library because that's what packages are for in Java.
Ideally the user should have one static import anyway import static org.jooq.JooqDSL.*; and then doesn't need to bother about the name anymore. Am Dienstag, 2.
