OK, I think I've got it.

The answer depends more on what artifacts will always have the same version number, than how many artifacts there are.

In a nutshell, one repository for the entire multi-module project is best, where all the artifacts keep their versions in sync with the parent pom.

But, if you have to support artifacts with versions out of sync, then the out of sync versions need their own repositories. More work to manage, but sometimes necessary.

Thanks for the clarification. Where would I find these kinds of best practices written down?

Cheers, Eric

If there are some sub-modules that have a different lifecycle, they should
be in a separate git repository. That may force you to split the other
modules you thought were always released as one into two other git
repositories. Lather, rince, repeat

I'm a git newbie and I was wondering if there are any best practices
around using maven with git people could point me to?

For example, if I have a project with several artifacts/modules

net.kolotyluk.coolapp
- client.jar
- common.jar
- service.jar

is it better to create a single repository "net.kolotyluk.coolapp" for the
project, or several repositories such as "net.kolotyluk.coolapp.client"
"net.kolotyluk.coolapp.common" and "net.kolotyluk.coolapp.**service" for
each artifact?

Cheers, Eric
