Are there any guidelines for choosing a groupId for a project? It seems like
there are several techniques on ibiblio and I think some of it has historical
motivation.
For example, the Jakarta Commons projects all seem to use a groupId that
matches artifactId. So you end up with commons-util/commons-util. I would have
thought the groupId would have been "org.apache.jakarta" with artifactId
"commons-util".
The other question is: does the choice of groupId really matter? Does it
affect anything beyond helping people locate a dependency in the repository?
K.C.
