Here's the discussion on why we had to change the groupIds http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg19426.html
And here's the JIRA that restructured the POMs and gave those groupIds. http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1755 I hope I understood what David is saying correctly. I guess I'm okay with renaming configs as modules but I think we are better off keeping separate groupIds for each major branch under geronimo root. In the m2 repo, this would then be analogous to keeping the jars, cars, etc separate in the current m2 repo. If we had the same groupId (o.a.g), then all the artifacts from modules, configs, apps, plugins etc would end up together in one dir in the repo (o.a.g) o/a/g/geronimo-kernel (module artifact) o/a/g/geronimo-deployment-plugin (plugin artifact) o/a/g/welcome-jetty (config artifact) Now, maybe this is not such a bad thing but I hope some resident M2 gurus can weigh in on this too.

I guess the other consideration is for people outside our project that want to pick up piece parts (like the Tx manager). Please remember that not all OSes will be able to tolerate super long file names and these will go into the repo. I know there is some head room but were stealing it from the users.
