[gef-dev] package names for new classes

[Randy Hudson <hudsonr@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We have created a new algorithm for
calculating shortest paths between 2 points given a collection rectangular
obstacles.  The algorithm is similar in architecture to the DirectGraphLayout
algorithm.  This means it can be used without using draw2d figures
and layout managers.  So, we want to place these classes in a different
package.

We are considering using the following
two package names:
1) org.eclipse.draw2d.graph (existing
package for directed graph layout classes, and future graph-related work)
2) org.eclipse.draw2d.cg (potentially
new package for computation geometry)

Really, routing a path falls under "computational
geometry", and not "graph drawing" (placement of nodes and
possibly bendpoints).  But, do we really need 2 packages, and will
anyone know what cg means.  Probably not.  We're leaning towards
throwing it in the 'graph' package.

Comments appreciated,
