To make your code more clear to you as well as to others who are reading your code. That's why something like naming convention are evolve in programming.

Package names are like name spaces in e.g. C++. In a feeble attempt to make those name spaces unique globally the reverse of domain names is used.

True, but commonly referred as naming conversion I guess. ;)

Nope, it's just a naming convention; it has nothing to do with conversion.

think if you have a package myutilities with a class ReadFile in it. Now if somebody else use the same package name and the same class name in an other project when you merge these two packages the name of the class is no more unique and you are no more sure which class will be used. as already mentioned a solution to this problem was to use the reverse of the top level domain name in the package name, because the top level name is worldwide unique.

I'm really really sorry about that lol. It's my mistake. I've spell it in wrong way. It's about convention, not a conversion. I'll correct it in previous post. Really sorry.
