Hi,
Congratulations on your work on Classpath. I wish you all success on
completing a free replacement for the 1.1 and 1.2 libraries. I am a Java
developer and look forward to using Classpath with Japhar and Guavac on a
GNU/Linux platform.
P.S. I am however, a bit puzzled that you have package n

Wow, didn't know this many people were alive and computing on Sundays :)
My two cents: gnu.* is a hell of a lot easier to use and think about than
org.gnu.*. I still think it looks silly to import com.sun like in JavaDoc.
But I perfectly understand them putting stuff they *don't* want other peop

The size of the domain name space is what it is, and isn't getting adjusted
in any way to fill the need for package naming.

How can anyone own anything that's just a bunch of symbols? A word, say, or

It's not too late to change to "org.gnu" if one has the will.
After all, Sun changed from "com.sun.java.swing" to "javax.swing".
The change caused some disruption, but was a welcome one.
Using "org.gnu" would also impress Java developers outside the
