This is the one thing (so far) that I really don't like about Java.  The 
Oracle assumes that developers are corporations with web sites.  The 
reality is that some are learning a new language, or developing software 
for others, etc.  So, the package name/path needs to reflect this 
diversity.  By the way, the idea for a source and a class path is 
discussed by the Oracle at:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/package/managingfiles.html

I should also point out that I'm a tad old fashion (I guess) because I 
use an editor and command line.  I do plan to go to an IDE - once I'm 
told which one everyone wants to use.

Ok, back to the subject.  I want to obey the conventions, but not box 
myself in or create future problems.  So how about:
* domain (used for general Java development for now): dboland
* source: home/user/javadev/dboland/proj_name/src
* classes: home/user/javadev/dboland/proj_name/classes
   // I don't get the need for build/classes.
* CLASSPATH: home/user/javadev/dboland

Comments?
