[platform-dev] question about plugin name convention

[jml <jml@xxxxxxxx>]

I asked the question on the newsgroup, but got no response, so execuse 
me to ask it here again.

Hi,
I have a question about plugin name convention.

In our project, we use many third party libraries, many from apache. And 
in eclipse, there is several plugins also contain packages from apache, 
such as "org.apache.xerces". This suggested us to also put the third 
party libraries into separate plugin, and name them as 
"org.apache.commons", "org.apache.axis", etc.

Then come my quesiton: in this way, who is managing the "org.apache" 
namespace? And if a lot of people doing the same, they may put totally 
different files in the same named plugin, and I believe a lot of trouble.

Or I name the plugin as "com.mycom.apache.commons", but that make me 
feel terible, also I would believe common lib as apache will be used by 
a lot of people.

Is there any convention in how to handle this?

Thanks
