Ok, I see that -- the fact that groupIds are not included in the artifact file naming pattern means that they cannot serve as a namespace for artifactIds, in the sense of being sufficient to establish uniqueness. That leaves two issues: (1) The need for globally unique artifactIds for things that might end up in the same project. Without the "com.mycompany" sort of convention, that's hard to do. If I'm including two third party artifacts that happen to share an artifactId, it sounds as though I'm in some trouble. (2) Is Maven consistent about artifactId (plus version) as a unique identifier? Is that documented somewhere? Will I get errors if I try to assemble a war or ear from artifacts that have different groupIds, but the same artifactId, regardless of whether the versions match? -- Bryan This message and the information contained herein is proprietary and confidential and subject to the Amdocs policy statement, you may review at http://www.amdocs.com/email_disclaimer.asp - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
Re: Duplicate Module/Project Names in m2eclipse
Hi,
Give your projects different names.
We're not going to support duplicate artifactIds in the reactor. You
can't have two artifacts with the same coordinate and expect it to
work.
Name your projects properly.
I always thought Maven artifacts are uniquely identified by { groupId
, artifactId , version } - how come two artifacts with same artifact
IDs but *different* group IDs have "the same coordinate" ?
The GAV is the coordinate. Beyond that the only rule I generally have
is that an artifact can land in a directory (assembly) which
everything else and not get clobbered, and that you can easily
identify what you are looking at. Having N car-1.0.jar artifacts does
not appear to be something I would want in a system I was trying to
maintain. Be unique at all levels == less aggravating over time.
You're right, I didn't think about the deployment issues.
Regards,
Tobias

that might solve your problem (haven't tried it myself but I'm afraid
you would have to disable m2eclipse for the project to make this
work). Changing one of the conflicting projects to use a different
artifactId might be way easier (assuming you don't have released
these artifacts to the "public" / clients).

RE: Duplicate Module/Project Names in m2eclipse
When you import, you can select a naming template and one of them includes the group. This is also handy if you happen to have multiple branches imported at the same time, since one of the other options includes the version. -Original Message- From: Andrew Hughes [mailto:ahhug...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 12:26 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: Duplicate Module/Project Names in m2eclipse Hi, Eclipse can't seem to handle two modules in the same workspace that have the same artifactId.

RE: Duplicate Module/Project Names in m2eclipse
I think m2e does allow you to create a project with the groupId as part of the project name. If you open the "Advanded" dialog during an import you will see a name template. --- Todd Thiessen > -Original Message- > From: Kalle Korhonen [mailto:kalle.o.korho...@gmail.com] > Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 1:55 PM > To: Maven Users List > Subject: Re: Duplicate Module/Project Names in m2eclipse > > On Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 6:56 AM, Jason van Zyl > wrote: > > > Give your projects different names. > > We're not going to support duplicate artifactIds in the > reactor.
