I don't like "foo", too likely to collide with something.  Use dboland 
as the top name, I think that's much better.

I still don't like the split between src and class at the top level. 
It's weird, and as others have pointed out you'll fight most tools 
(IDEs, etc.) to do it this way.  Easier is project_name/src and 
project_name/build/classes.

Getting a domain name is the absolute least of your concerns.
