address@hidden 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
address@hidden, 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
address@hidden becomes package
address@hidden
