Why do people create directory structures like edu.mit.stk in Java?
<p>My question is why do people create directory structures with at least one folder named edu, and then another single folder named mit (for example), followed by all their code in a subfolder?</p>

<p>Is this some sort of identifier? </p>

<p>Is the structure actually used by the computer for any reason - or is it just used to help the reader? </p>

<p>If so, how so does it help the reader?</p>
