Talk:Java package
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I dont think the deletion decision here Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Packages in Java was very fair since there were 3 keeps and 3 deletes and it was claimed that there was 2k - 5d. I have removed the list section of the article, so it means there is something to go to wikibooks for the extra info. If it deserves a wikibook article, it should have an article here, at least a shorter version which points to the wikibook article. Astrokey44 08:13, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
Agreed. The discussion for deletion involves some uninformed opinion. Yes, the article shouldn't be a programmer's reference but just because it might look technical doesn't mean it's 'of interest to nobody but Java developers' or its purpose is to teach people Java. The package system is an integral part of the Java programming language and deserves the attention called for because Java is important and therefore its bases are of interest. I think some people in the deletion / merge discussion are confusing the package system with the Java API(s). Java APIs use the package system, they're not the package system. Any discussion of any Java APIs would be incomplete without mention of the package system and the most efficient way to do that is with a link back to this article. Al001 02:31, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
This page could do with some information on creating package specification files for Javadoc.
