I'm confused. How come it's called NIO2 rather than ANIO (Another New I/O), it would be more consistant with the previous naming scheme of calling the new IO, NIO rather than IO2.
Also, will it get its own namespace java.nio2 or is it intended to be added to java.nio?

The project is delivering the next phase of the New I/O APIs. That shouldn't be confusing. It adds to the existing java.nio package name space, mostly java.nio.file and java.nio.channels.
