Hi Curt,
What you can use with dots is "Extension-Name" e.g.
Extension-Name: org.apache.log4j
but "Name" needs slashes and using "Name" with dots prevents
Package#getImplementationVersion() from returning something useful.
So you could have:
Extension-Name: org.apache.log4j
Name: org/apache/log4j/
and everyone would be happy I guess.
Kind regards,
Dominique
