Joakim,

The "current" practice (always subject to change at apache) is to use 
version numbers with incubator or incubating in the name.   For example:
2.0-incubator-M2

There has been talks about using a groupId, but the general consensus has 
been that if it's in the version, it's unnecessary and it makes it 
harder for dependents to migrate after the project graduates.   They can 
just update their dependencyManagement section of their top level pom 
and not go through bunches of child poms to change groupId's.

In anycase, I just wanted folks here to be aware of the discussions going 
on.
