@node Java Packages
@subsection Java Packages
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}.
