just my 2c:
JADE will be developed and maintained by the JOS-Project. Therefore
the classes should be located somewhere in the org.jos tree and the
appropiate subtree for it is ui.
Then there should be a subsection for all plafs that will be
implemented.
So I'd like to create the packages as follows:
org.jos.ui.plaf - everything that has to implemented for all
l&fs
(If there is something needed outside the
java.swing and java.swing.plaf packages)
org.jos.ui.plaf.default - a default JOS l&f
org.jos.ui.jade - like the p&f a package containing
everything for all UI-Managers
org.jos.ui.jade.default - the default Application handler.
The used jade-package should always use the UI which is set as the
"System Look and Feel", this should be just an entry in the registry,
so it's easy to change. (Of course the jade-manager should be set in
the same manner)
With this, it's quite easy for everybody outside JOS to write and
install their own jades using some methods like
(JadeManager.installJade(packageName) ) and the JOS-System has some
default-values it can rely on...
Just some thoughts about it...
