Hi all,
In the importer I wrote, I have the following mappings:
* Java packages -> Famix namespaces (Simply because java packages
have control over name scoping).
* Java jar files -> Famix packages (it's the closest thing that
corresponds to any 'packaging' thing in Java).
I think it's strange to map Java packages onto Famix packages..
Just my 2 cents ;-)
Johan
ps: I will be looking at using the existing Eclipse importer directly
from JavaConnect/Penumbra too.

Is it what you had in mind?
I don't necessarily think that package equals namespace in Java
either. There are the same amount of namespaces as packages, but
unlike packages, the namespaces are not nested, right?
Well on the other hand, namespaces are obviously deducable from java
packages, so I guess it makes sense to just have packages and write
code to get the namespace info (which is more or less important
because package belongsTo != namespace belongsTo for java).
What is your opinion about the matter?
@Sandro: get involved , this concerns you too, obviously :)
