title: Is there any limit on number of characters in a package name in Java?
body: <p>I'm curious to know if there is any limit on maximum number of characters or maximum number of dots(.) in a package name in Java? I referred this <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/package/namingpkgs.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">oracle doc</a> but couldn't find the answer there. I also referred <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1039029/does-java-have-a-limit-on-the-class-name-length">this thread</a> which gave me another doubt that whether the name limits are OS(XP, Windows 7) dependent?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in Advance!!</p>
