Best practices¶
rosjava is different than other ROS client libraries in many respects. As a result, there are new best practices that should be followed while developing a rosjava application.
Java package names¶
As usual, Java package names should start with a reversed domain name. In the ROS ecosystem, the domain name should be followed by the ROS package name. For example:
- org.ros.rosjava
- org.ros.rosjava_geometry
Only core packages (e.g. those in rosjava_core and android_core) should begin with org.ros. A suitably unique choice for github based repos would be the github url followed organization and repository/package name, e.g.
- com.github.rosjava.rosjava_extras
