How do you name a Java module, and what naming convention is recommended to avoid conflicts with other modules?

A module name is declared directly after the module keyword in module-info.java, and the recommended convention (mirroring Java package naming conventions) is to use a reverse-domain-style name matching your organization's own domain (like com.example.myapp), helping avoid naming collisions with modules from other organizations or open-source libraries in the same application's module graph, since module names must be globally unique within a given application's module path.

module com.example.myapp {
    // module body: requires, exports, etc.
}

// Poor practice: a generic, collision-prone name
// module utils { }  -- could easily conflict with another library also naming its module "utils"

// Good practice: reverse-domain style, following Java package naming conventions
module com.mycompany.utils { }
