Does it really matter? Namespaces/packages only serve to: - make things unique - group things logically (which makes the systems design more explicit) This applies to all programming languages. It's just that there's a convention in the Java community to prefix namespaces with a FQDN, which adds to the length. But you're free to choose another convention if you fancy. Although I wouldn't recommend since it's not a major issue, especially considering IDE support.
