" * If a Java library has a generic name, the package name should be prepended with the title java- to help distinguish it from other libraries. This is not necessary with uniquely named packages (like JUnit), end-user programs (like Eclipse), or libraries that can be uniquely described with another prefix (like jakarta-commons-collections or apache-ant).
I'd say that gstreamer-java is a generically named library, so it should probably be java-gstreamer.
Thanks for clearing it up. Why not just rename it java-gstreamer-java? That way we can respect

I chuckled. I assume this isn't a serious suggestion. Though it would solve it, it's not really a "solution". I'm think I agree with Andrea still. -- Andrei Thorp, Developer: Xandros Corp.
