Using the Maven plugin, I find that the property "group" from the

Isn't this a bit inconsistent?
Well, Gradle has its own domain model and tries to use the terminology
that it thinks is the best. Ivy uses (org,name,revision), maven uses
(group,artifact,version). Gradle uses (group,name,version). And I
think this makes sense, as name is the name of the project and not
necessarily of the artifact(s). Although the artifact names often
derive from the project name. Another difference to Maven is, that a
Maven project has a one-one mapping between project and artifacts,
whereas a Gradle project can have many artifacts.
