Re: [cbi-dev] Publish eclipse-parent and maven-cbi-plugin to Nexus

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think it would be fine if we moved towards
using org.eclipse.platform.*, and moved away from the practice of omitting
the project name in the case of the Eclipse project. This made sense in
the beginning but doesn't make sense today - we end up cluttering the third
segment project namespace and the ownership isn't clear. You can take the
perspective that it is primarily the Platform build, and it also builds
JDT, PDE, and Equinox for the purpose of creating our "all in one"
SDK.

I advise first changing groupId (to org.eclipse.platform
or org.eclipse.platform.releng) and then publish to Nexus. So it won't
collide with current "eclipse-parent" plugin. Once it is published
and used by platform build, we may be able to think about some refactorings
to make it more useful. For other projects, groupId starts with org.eclipse.<projectName>
(just as package name), platform should follow this convention instead
of introducing a org.eclipse.releng.

We're not the platform project, we're the Eclipse Project (a legacy of
when there was only one project :-)

But because that puts us at org.eclipse or org.eclipse.eclipse each project
(within the Eclipse Project) was to use the first 3 segments as its groupId.
 org.eclipse.releng is a component, as is org.eclipse.ui, org.eclipse.jdt,
org.eclipse.pde, org.eclipse.equinox, etc.
That said, it makes sense to use org.eclipse.releng. But
it's not a very explicit name IMHO, and it can lead to the conclusion that
this pom may be helpful to other projects. What about org.eclipse.platform-releng
?
