Please drop the "nu." from the package name. "xom" is unlikely to collide with anything (If Exxon-Mobil starts producing general-purpose Java libraries, I'll surely eat my hat...), and "nu" is confusing when pronounced ("new", "gnu", "enyoo", etc).


No, that would be a clear violation of Java conventions, which should begin with a reversed domain name. I object strenuously to packages that don't adhere to this.
