contrail package organisation

[Daan Hoogland <da...@gmail.com>]

H,

Someone queried for the status of the contrail plugin and I noticed
that the package structure is different then the other network
plugins. The difference being that the contrail classes have
'contrail' in their package name.

1 is this intentional
2 is this going to hurt some automated plugin resolving mechanism?

regards,.

Typically package names reflect code organization... and avoid name clashes.
I wanted to avoid the possibility of name clashes.

To my knowledge, the plugin resolution mechanism doesn't depend on the package name. I have not found an instance where this is a problem.

There are already plugins on the com.cloud namespaces and org.apache namespaces.
