Consistency "PolymerElements" vs "polymerelements" in bower.json for webjars usage

[bartolom]

Description

The app-layout element is using "polymerelements" in its bower.json file to reference dependecies.

Like: polymerelements/iron-flex-layout#^1.0.0

While other popular Polymer elements like paper-checkbox, paper-button use "PolymerElements"

Like PolymerElements/iron-flex-layout#^1.0.0

Other Polymer elements use a mixture like app-route

I assume this does not matter in the JavaScript and Bower world. But I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to use Polymer-Elements in Java/JVM based micro services. In the Java world dependencies are pulled together from so called "Maven-Repositories".

There is a very nice effort to bridge the Bower/NPM things with Maven-Repositories in the project http://www.webjars.org/ . Webjars.org works fairly well for pure javascript dependencies, but less well for PolymerElements. Many PolymerElements artifacts appear twice with the lower and upper case version of the github name "PolymerElements".

github-com-PolymerElements-iron-flex-layout
github-com-polymerelements-iron-flex-layout

This is an issue for JVM based software where letter case matters.

Expected outcome

It would be nice if all PolymerElements would consistently use "PolymerElements" because this is the github name of the project.

app-layout is just the first github repo where I wrote a ticket about this, but ideally it could be consistent everywhere.

Steps to reproduce

Look at the bower.json files of the various projects

• https://github.com/PolymerElements/paper-checkbox/blob/master/bower.json
• https://github.com/PolymerElements/paper-button/blob/master/bower.json
• https://github.com/PolymerElements/app-layout/blob/master/bower.json
• https://github.com/PolymerElements/app-route/blob/master/bower.json
• https://github.com/PolymerElements/iron-dropdown/blob/master/bower.json
• ...

Browsers Affected

This does not affect bowsers. This affects Java build system like Maven, Gradle, SBT but seems to be no problem for JavaScript users that use Bower.

Maybe the best option is automatize it with tedium. To has an standar bower.json for all the PolymerElements. Please, @bartolom, can you create an issue there?

My proposal is:

{
  "name": "<ELEMENT-NAME>",
  "version": "<ELEMENT-VERSION>",
  "description": "<ELEMENT-DESCRIPTION>",
  "authors": [
    "The Polymer Authors"
  ],
  "license": "https://polymer.github.io/LICENSE.txt",
  "homepage": "https://elements.polymer-project.org/elements/<ELEMENT-NAME>",
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "git://github.com/PolymerElements/<ELEMENT-NAME>"
  },
  "dependencies": {},
  "devDependencies": {},
  "ignore": [],
  "private": true
}

And then check that the dependencies and the devDependencies has the capitalize GitHub organizations names.
