Review Package Names
--------------------

                 Key: DIRSHARED-97
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSHARED-97
             Project: Directory Shared
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Stefan Seelmann
             Fix For: 1.0.0-RC1


The package names should be reviewed. Package names are not consistent and IMHO too long. So here I just put some questions and ideas.


Example from ldap-model:
org.apache.directory.shared.ldap.model.name.Dn

- Do we need the *shared* in package names? I think we can remove it, everything that doesn't start with o.a.d.studio or o.a.d.server in the name is implicitly a 'shared' package.

- Should we keep the *model* in package names? While I understand that during refactoring it's easier to see the model packages, it isn't common in other APIs.

The result could be: org.apache.directory.ldap.name.Dn


Example from ldap-client-api:
org.apache.directory.ldap.client.api.LdapConnection

- Do we need the 'client.api' in package names? I think we can remove it, everything with o.a.d.ldap in the name is implicitly the LDAP API.

The result could be: org.apache.directory.ldap.LdapConnection
