Designing packages and jars

JAR Design Over Class Design | Javalobby
I had about 40 or 50 folks in attendance, and here’s a rough breakdown of the hands shown after each of the questions.

* How many spend time designing classes, both the behavior of a class and the relationships between classes? Almost everyone raised their hands.
* How many spend time designing packages, both the behavior of a package and the relationship between packages? Only about 5 hands went up.
* How many spend time designing JAR files, both the behavior of a JAR and the relationship between JAR files? Only about 2 or 3 hands went up.
