Jacob Robertson commented on MNG-2968:
--------------------------------------
Let me give an example of where you might like to have dots which follow the
expected java package structure inside a project.
project name:webservices.util
cvs module name:webservices.util
groupId:com.mycompany.webservices
artifactId:webservices.util
project name:webservices.xfire
cvs module name:webservices.xfire
groupId:com.mycompany.webservices
artifactId:webservices.xfire
We wouldn't want to have an artifact id of just "util" for the first project,
because that would be confusing and problematic with tools like
copy-dependencies since we'd undoubtably have more than one project with an
artifact of "util". So, we'd be more likely to do "webservices-util" which now
means our artifact id is out of synch with (A) the project name, (B) the cvs
module name and (C) the java package name.
