Fist, thanks for all of the insight!  Based on what everyone has said, 
and what I have read (Oracle, other online info), the plan is to:

1. Eventually get URL, but that will have to wait until a few other 
shoes have dropped so I don't have to keep changing it (as was mentioned 
by a few of you).  Something I did not consider, but with the wave of 
mergers of companies, I can see that this could be a real headache to 
down-stream developers using my packages.

2. For now, use foo.dboland.<proj_name> as the URL.  The disk 
organization would then be (Linux):
	home/user/javadev/src/foo/dboland/<proj_name>
	home/user/javadev/class/foo/dboland/<proj_name>
The class path will be: home/user/javadev/class
And the package specification will be: foo.dboland.<proj_name>

3. I have been looking for the source path documentation, but had not 
heard of it until it was mentioned in this thread.

Any thoughts/comments?

Thanks again!
Dave
