Hi Richard,

I prefer to have seperated groupId to avoid to have too much jar in the same 
directory on the maven repo.
I think that it's easier and more well sorted using groupId directory.

Regards
JB

Subject: Maven groupId question

I noticed while poking around Gogo that its Maven groupId is:

     org.apache.felix.gogo

While most other subprojects are:

     org.apache.felix

Apparently, Karaf also creates its own groupId. I guess I was under the 
assumption that all subprojects were using the same groupId. It doesn't 
seem necessary, even if you have multiple modules, since for example 
iPOJO has multiple modules, but still uses org.apache.felix.

I realize the groupId doesn't really have much impact, but it does make 
it somewhat confusing to know which is the correct groupId to use for a 
given subproject. So, from that perspective it seems easier and more 
consistent if every subproject just used the same groupId. Are there any 
benefits of having separate groupIds?
