Arne,
com.xith3d.* designates a core package (and uses the xith3d.dev.java.net CVS)
org.xith3d.* designates a tool that is part of the official toolkit distribution (which must confrom to these standards: http://xith.org/XithToolkitGuidelines) (and uses the xith-tk.dev.java.net CVS)
It is setup that way so that upon a glance one can see what the code is. Non-conforming tools can still use the xith-tk CVS, but not the org.xith3d. package prefix. More info here: http://xith.org/XithToolkitContributions
There are some core packages which really shouldn’t be in the core and one day will be moved, but that is another topic.
The idea of the structure is to have a high QA policy on the core classes, and a more relaxed policy on the tools to facilitate more community involvement, but still making sure that the tools meet some standards (namley in the areas of: license, javadoc, API change policy, and future support).
Cheers,
Will.
Ok - that’s what got me confused
I thought both were using com. (I haven’t use parts of the xith-tk very much yet)

I wanted to try out the loader, but I only found the jar. Is somewhere also the source? A javadoc would also help me. Without anything I don’t even know which class is the main class !!!

I uploaded it here:
https://xith-tk.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=3484&expandFolder=3484&folderID=372
Please see the install.txt file inside the zip.
Good - but the jars don’t contain any sources, right? (It’s the same file as in sourceforge, right? - the date is the same ) So you should at least add a javadoc. Or have I missed something there?
Yes, same file. The javadoc is the same as for interface Loader in the Java 3D API.
