How to reference projects in the Repository.
Here is the goals I think we shouould have for a project reference scheme. * Human Readable * globaly unique * stable over long periods of time If these are reasonable goals, then we should start evalutating the merrits of different approaches.

I think I would still prefix it with apache, so that other organizations can follow our pattern with out conflicts. Also allowing other repositories to host artifacts from multiple orginizations. Sounds like a good idea. There is still some naming details to work out. An apache project can be a very big thing. Take the CLI project in Jakarta commons that would be apache-jakarta-commons-cli vs the pacakge name org.apache.commons.cli This is where the previous naming convention breaks for me. site/project/version/artifact-version.type assumes that the 'project' has a single versioning system. Jakarta as a project doesn't. e.g. commons/beanutils has versions very different from commons/logging. *As an example only*, maven treats commons/beanutils and commons/logging as two separate projects. -- dIon Gillard, Multitask Consulting Blog: http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/dion/ Pub Key:http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/dion/public-key.asc
