Hi,
I'd like to have a clarification about the naming convention for ported GWT
modules. Because I'm porting the module `gwt-safecss` and `gwt-animation`.
When I go to Vertispan repository [1], the available modules do not use the
same rule for the group ID and artifact ID. This is a pain when you
reference them as dependencies. Here're 5 rules that I found.
*Rule 1:*
Use "org.gwtproject" + module name as group id; module name with "gwt-"
prefix as artifact id. This rule is used by `gwt-http`:
GROUP_ID: org.gwtproject.$MODULE
ARTIFACT_ID: gwt-$MODULE
*Rule 2:*
Use "org.gwtproject" + module name as group id; module name without "gwt-"
prefix as artifact id. This rule is used by `gwt-event`, `gwt-place`,
`gwt-safehtml`, `gwt-storage`, `gwt-timer`:
GROUP_ID: org.gwtproject.$MODULE
ARTIFACT_ID: $MODULE
*Rule 3:*
Use "org.gwtproject" as group id; module name with "gwt-" prefix as
artifact id. This rule is used by `gwt-xhr`:
GROUP_ID: org.gwtproject
ARTIFACT_ID: gwt-$MODULE
*Rule 4:*
Use "org.gwtproject" as group id; module name without "gwt-" prefix as
artifact id. This rule is used by `gwt-json`, `gwt-typedarrays`, `gwt-xml`,
`gwt-xhr`:
GROUP_ID: org.gwtproject
ARTIFACT_ID: $MODULE
*Rule 5:*
Other rules: `gwt-window`, `gwt-history`.
I suggest we apply rule 4 to all the modules. It means always using
"org.gwtproject` as group id, and use `gwt-` + module name as artifact id.
There're several benefits. It helps people to find all the artifacts via
the same group id. It also keeps consistency for the generated JAR files:
each of them contains a "gwt-" prefix, thus they are GWT artifacts.
Cheers,
