Definitely +1 with some "deprecation" strategy.

If I understand correctly option i) would result in:
o/a/j/commons/commons-collections/version/
And option ii) would be:
o/a/j/commons/commons-collections/commons-collection/version
Thus I find option ii) a bit too verbose...
I don't like the non-consistency in option iii).
Actually, on your example, I believe that commons is NOT a project but an
umbrella project in the same manner that Jakarta is an umbrella project of
apache. Thus I agree with the following *consistent* strategy:
<org>/[<umbrella projects>]*/<project>
Which I believe corresponds to your iii) ;-)
Ok, I realize that the difficulty will be to decide what is an umbrella
project from what is not but that should be ok.
So I think I'm for iii) :-)
