I agree, the Java namespace system isn’t that good. In fact I hate it. First because it uses reverse DNS while common use of URL are in the opposite order. Second because the package sbu-namespace is enforced with the file system structure, which makes for crazy long names.

On the other hand I really like how C# and dotnet in general handle the matter. Package namespace are separated from logical (in-code) namespace. Package namespace are usually two/three dotted term, making ownership clear while not bloating the names.

Well, that's more a bad thing about the DNS though. "toplevel.domainname.subdomain/path" should really be how it should be structured. SUN improved this and made the hierarchy proper.

my understanding of DNS is that it actually uses ".tld.domain.subdomain" as a representation, it is just the URL format that mixes them up
