JLS 7.7 "Unique Package Names" (revised) says:
 The first component of a unique package name is always written
 in all-lowercase ASCII letters and should be one of the top-level
 domain names, currently com, edu, gov, mil, net, org, or one of
 the English two-letter codes identifying countries as specified
             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 in ISO Standard 3166, 1981.

Because I'm in California, United States, I use
    package us.ca.paulsen.stephen.<foo>
when I'm doing my own programming, and of course
    package com.synergex.<foo>
on the job.
