in i0207

I created a new plugin project for a bundle named com.code9.foo.  the Bunlde-Vendor header was filled in using a triming of the bundle symbolic name (cool!) but the vendor name was converted to all caps for some reason.  That is, the name came out as CODE9 where it would have been better as Code9.

I would probably expect it to be just 'code9' ... it's impossible for us to infer the proper capitalization... ie..... com.ibm.foo... is it IBM or ibm or Ibm?

I don't know if I want to change the behavior to be all lowercase.

Interestingly I didn't think of TLA company names.  its been sooo long since I've worked for one of those ;-)  Real names are much more fun.  Lets encourage better behavior.

CODE9 just feels so retro.  Like it should come up in a green font with big dots or something.  Maybe with some printer noises in the background as it is rendered.  Maybe we could change all the PDE hot keys to use cryptic function keys...

You can close this one if you like.  I'll rag on you for a while but there probably is no right answer.  Thanks CHRIS

This is a NP hard problem :)
