I would never consider defining a groupId value that didn't look like a package name, but does Maven specify that groupId values have to be a set of period-separated components? Apparently groupId values are "translated" to directory paths, but is that because of a convention, or a restriction?

The book "Maven: a Definitive Guide" says that periods are "commonly" used in groupIds, but I don't know how it would translate to directory paths without it specifically being in that form, unless there's some sort of "component separator" field defined somewhere.
