Description Eric Gwin

The other utils use a package format of "org.eclipse.persistence.util...", while the eclipselink.utils.sigcompare utility uses "eclipselink.utils.sigcompare"

This is non-conformant on both a project and "java standards" level: packages typically start with org, com, or company/organization name, not a product name. I'm not certain of the Eclipse Foundation specific rules, but I believe that all code for a project should begin with the "project package name" in our case "org.eclipse.persistence"

The question at this point is: Was it done on purpose? If so why?

Not correct, but I don't think we should be changing this now without other needs to touch this.
