Right location for new classes

["David W. Van Couvering" <Da...@Sun.COM>]

Hi, all.  In my work on writing a classloader that removes issues raised 
by mixed versions of Derby in the classpath, I am looking at setting up 
a pattern of a stub class delegating to an implementation class, e.g.

EmbeddedDriver (rewritten to be a stub)
      |
delegates to
      |
      V
EmbeddedDriverImpl

Then EmbeddedDriver, when loaded and/or instantiated, uses the 
specialized classloader to load EmbeddedDriverImpl.

Because org.apache.derby.impl is not sealed, I can put 
EmbeddedDriverImpl in the same package as EmbeddedDriver.

But an alternate approach would be to move it into a different package. 
  Does anyone recommend this approach, and what are your reasons?  And 
if so, what package would you recommend relocating it to (I was thinking 
org.apache.impl.jdbc).

Unless I hear otherwise, however, I'll keep the Impl class under 
org.apache.derby.jdbc.

Thanks,

David
