[DRMAA-WG] DRMAA Java binding : package naming

[Peter Tröger]

Hello,

> 1. Is it an option to change the expected Java package name to e.g. org.ogf.drmaa ?
> Potentially e.g. for DRMAA v2 as it would seem that there are no known Java binding implementations yet?
> (and then we live with the temporary risk for DRMAA v1 until everyone has switched to v2)

There is nothing like a „change“, because their is no standard (see my last mail). So renaming is fine from my perspective.

> 2. Is the OGF or DRMAA group able to have a long-term "claim" on the namespace org.ggf somehow?

I have a lot of faith in the current OGF leaders, but re-orgs simply happen. GGF is history, so the domain is most likely to be gone forever. The same may happen to the OGF brand in the future.

I would propose to simply use the „drmaa.org“ domain for the package namespace. We are owning and maintaining it for 14 years now, which hopefully shows the groups long-term commitment to keep it up and running in the future.  

Best regards,
Peter.
