<p>So most Java resources when speaking of packages mention a <code>com.yourcompany.project</code> setup. However, I do not work for a company, and don't have a website. Are there any naming conventions that are common? An email address, perhaps?</p>

Use a top-level domain like 'bernard' or something else unique.   The important part is that the domain is unique so that you avoid clashes, and not that it starts with a real Internet top-level domain like org or com.   E.g.
```
```
import java.util.*;
import bernard.myProject.*;
import org.apache.commons.lang.*;
```
```
