Underscore in package name in Java - is it bad? [duplicate]

Sorry for my English

I think that sometimes it is necessary.

In my opinion search_result_list, location_provider are easier to read than searchresultlist, locationprovider.

What does the documentation say?

@dystroy thanks for the comment. I'm updated the question. - Leonid Semyonov
These look more like a class names, not the package names... Packages name should be hierarchical and roughly group classes by some feature (like functionality or structural similarity). - Cromax
We usually use camelCase for packages and PascalCase for classes/interfaces; in your case it'll be "SearchResultList" and "LocationProvider" - Dmitry Bychenko
@DmitryBychenko You're free to do that but that's not the official convention. - Denys Séguret

Code Conventions could be found here!

I think code conventions are nothing to vary, so stick to such conventions if there exist any...
