What are the rules for CODING artifact library package names?

The rules for coding artifact library package names typically include the following guidelines:

1. Descriptive: The name should clearly describe the contents or purpose of the package.

   • Example: com.example.utils indicates a utility package.

2. Consistency: Follow a consistent naming convention across all packages.

   • Example: If you use com.example for your company, maintain this prefix for all related packages.

3. Avoid Special Characters: Stick to alphanumeric characters and underscores. Avoid spaces, hyphens, and other special characters.

   • Incorrect: com.example/my-package
   • Correct: com.example.my_package

4. Lowercase Letters: Use lowercase letters to avoid issues across different operating systems.

   • Example: com.example.library instead of Com.Example.Library.

5. Reverse Domain Name Notation (RDN): Start with your domain name in reverse order, which helps in avoiding naming conflicts.

   • Example: If your domain is example.com, start your package name with com.example.

6. Versioning: Include version numbers if necessary, but typically versioning is managed separately from the package name.

   • Example: com.example.library.v1 (though versioning is usually handled in the artifact's metadata).

7. Avoid Reserved Words: Do not use reserved words or keywords from the programming language.

   • Incorrect: com.example.class (if "class" is a reserved word).

These rules help in maintaining clarity, avoiding conflicts, and ensuring that the package names are easily understandable and usable across different development environments.
