I've finally started getting around to packaging my code and I've stumbled upon a strange little situation, I've been using the com.myname.myproduct.* packaging for awhile, but not that I have my website set-up I've been meaning to re-do all of my packaging.
The problem I've come across is that my website uses the .net TLD, and the software contains a .net package for it's networking code.
Is a package name such as
net.product.net
frowned upon by default, or is it perfectly fine?
It's perfectly fine. There are no conflicts. Packages only exist as fully qualified names in Java. There are no "relative path" names; meaning, Java does not have a notion of a "product.net" subpackage under "net", nor a "net" subpackage under "net.product". There are only fully qualified packages like "net.product" and "net.product.net".
