Question about packages and their naming conventions

Hi everyone!

I'm still a little confused about the package naming conventions. I understand that the naming convention for our package is the reversed domain (e.g. com.treehouse), but in a big project with multiple packages, where do those packages go? Under treehouse (e.g. com.treehouse.package1)? Under com (e.g. com. package1)?

Also, I assume there are separate com.treehouse packages for different projects you work on, right? But they are named the same?

Any clarification would be a big help!

Thanks!

I asked this question myself and found a nice answer here:
