Naming Conventions

Module Name

The module name is a dot-separated, fully qualified, unique, package name-like string. Conventionally, the name of the module coincides with the embedded top package, though nothing bad seems to happen it does not. Example: com.novaordis.playground.wildfly.custommodule.

Module JAR Name

Conventionally, it should be the condensed form of the module name, including the version string. Example custom-wildfly-module-1.0.jar.

Module Location

$JBOSS_HOME/modules/com/novaordis/playground/wildfly/custommodule/<version>|main/
