I thought
about it and I would like to have
java package -> extracted as package
smalltalk package -> as package
smalltalk namespace -> as namespace
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).
You lost me.
What is your opinion about the matter?
@Sandro: get involved , this concerns you too, obviously :)
Yes please. I would like that we arrive to a kind of consensu
My goal is to see if we can avoid duplicating navigation logic such as
a method (in A) refers to a class (B)
so a class (A) refers to another class (B),
so a package(A) refers to package (B)
In the past we duplicated all the logic for package in namespace too.
And this is not cool.
