Add default package to scrapbook [message #652967]

How does one add the default package to the scrapbook? Usually my packages do not have names, only "(default package)".

Thanks.

Dotan,

If I understand what you're asking, "(default package)" is what you see
here and there in Eclipse (but never inside source code) for code that
isn't declared as being in a package. So, if you write a Java class with
no package statement, it ends up in the "default package".

As this is sometimes confusing, I would gently suggest you not do this.
As long as you don't publish (publicly) a JAR with a package name that
doesn't belong to you, you can call your package names anything you want.

I see, so (default package) is actually no package at all.

I know that the name doesn't matter so long as I'm not publishing, but I wondered what the convention is. And if one does publish, but not from any particular website (he might upload to sourceforge, github, and some other places) then what is the convention? Or where could I read more about the naming conventions, google could not help me on that.

Thanks.

It just has to be discrete. Typically, this can only be done using an
owned domain name--something no one else could legally and plausibly use.
