Why is it that I add ORG.mongodb.smth to dependencies and then import COM.mongodb.smth?

I'm doing this from within code in a Scala/SBT project, but I assume this question should equally well apply to Java code.

In build.sbt I have:

libraryDependencies += "org.mongodb" %% "casbah" % "2.6.3"

but then in the code, I need to import for example:

import com.mongodb.MongoClient

I would try googling this, but I have no idea what's the question I should ask from Google.

Solution

  • That's the package structure for the 2.x java driver. That's moving under org.mongodb for the core of the 3.x driver with a driver-compat module still under the com.mongodb namespace.
