Unexpected package `Application`

[jaapio]

phpDocumentor is automatically creating a default package named Application, if it's empty this is a bug that we should address. There is a feature request somewhere to disable this behavior. We didn't implement this yet.

If you want to remove the packages from the menu you can overwrite the template for this.
Please read the docs about this feature: https://docs.phpdoc.org/guide/features/theming/custom-styling.html#replacing-whole-objects-or-components

The template to change is: https://github.com/phpDocumentor/phpDocumentor/blob/master/data/templates/default/components/sidebar.html.twig

@jaapio I think I resolved it by doing the following:

1. In the config, define a default package name that matches the topmost package name of your code. So if for example the code uses package like MyPack\Subpack, then pass this in config: <default-package-name>MyPack</default-package-name>
2. Make sure all of your code uses the MyPack top package (it may use sub package of course). If any code (example: composer autoloader) does not use any, or another package name then exclude it (well I hope people do that anyway in the case of autoloader...) it from the generation with then ignore attribute.

That resolved the issue for me. No more Application package is generated and the MyPack includes as expected all the contents of the application.

I think this can be closed, assuming mis-usage on my end at the begin.
