Hi, Felix list,
I'd like to expand our naming convention discussion to the "next level
down," namely to bundle jars and so I was wondering about a naming
convention for bundles at Apache. Apache jars have typically had a
name like lucene-1.4.3.jar or commons-logging-1.0.4.jar. And Eclipse
names stuff in reverse FQCN, such as
org.eclipse.core.runtime_3.1.0.jar, which I have personally gotten
used to since it maps well to my projects and lines up nicely in
folder listings. I was wondering what pros and cons people had for
the various conventions and if it was worth trying to figure something
out here. Just wanted to start a dialog.
Typical naming of Apache jars assume that the context (Apache) is known.
This assumption breaks down with jar repositories and bundle
repositorires, where the Eclipse naming convention makes much more
sense, as the names are granted to be unique and the source of the jar
(bundle) is obvious. IMO we should go for the Eclipse way in Felix.
