[orbit-dev] How to name bundles from different implementers?

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This has come up before, and we sort
of "punted", and now 
1) there's been more discussion in bug
226813, 
2) we now have a "real" case
of someone wanting to put the glassfish version of Java Mail 1.4.1 in Orbit.

(We currently have the geronimo version,
at 1.4.0). 

The suggestion has been made, to include
"vendor" name in the bundle ID (as well as name an attribute
on the 
export package statements). 

Specifically, for this new bundle that
would be org.glassfish.javax.mail. 
Sound ok? Anyone see any problems with
that? Any better suggestions? 
If/when we ever got a 1.4.1 version
of Geronimo's version, we'd call it, 
org.apache.geronimo.javax.mail? 

It feels "funny" to use _their_
namespaces _first_ in our bundle names ... 
Would "javax.mail.glassfish"
and "javax.mail.geronimo" be better? 

Once we decide a pattern, we should
update wiki with some "orbit policy" statement on what to do

in cases like this. 

Thanks,
