Naming Conventions
CODE:
Function: a package is a means of organizing java classes into groups, similar to a folder.
- package edu.ucsd.calit2.TransBorderTool;
- import edu.ucsd.calit2.TransBorderTool.international.*;
The import statement will allow the programmer to refer to the specified (e.g.Vector) or
complete list of classes in that package by name rather than their full address
(java.util.Vector).
In Java naming conventions, programmers refer to file names by the inverse of the url associated with that file. So
calit2.ucsd.edu <-- --> edu.ucsd.calit2.TransBorderTool
As a result the institution that supported, or more accurately hosted, the Transborder Immigrant Tool is inscribed into the code like the patron of the Renaissance portrait, or perhaps more like the brand name in the plastic mold of the plastic Statue of Liberty doll.
