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.

Yup... exactly. Changing the artifactId or groupId to add an "incubating" suffix would add a lot of extra effort to deal with graduated podlings instead of a simple version change.

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

One question I have ...

Do you want to identify the incubating projects on central in any way?
A groupId prefix of org.apache.incubating.* for example?

Just to let everyone know, there is a long thread about the
incubator M2 repository on general@incubator.apache.org:

Since this affects Maven users as well as projects like NMaven, it
would be good to get other peoples input, especially those that run
the central repository.

The other complication will be if they decide to remove it, we'll
have to merge it into the ibiblio sync respository.   Are the tools
ready for that?
