|

Java programs standing for themselves are named as any other package,
|
||||
using the lowercase upstream name.
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid confusion and naming clashes with other programming languages,
|
||||
it is desirable that the name of a package for a Java package is
|
||||
prefixed with @code{java-}. If a project already contains the word
|
||||
@code{java}, we drop this; for instance, the package @code{ngsjava} is
|
||||
packaged under the name @code{java-ngs}.
|
||||
|
||||
For Java packages containing a single class or a small class hierarchy,
|
||||
we use the lowercase class name, replace all occurrences of @code{.} by
|
||||
dashes and prepend the prefix @code{java-}. So the class
|
||||
@code{apache.commons.cli} becomes package
|
||||
@code{java-apache-commons-cli}.
