It probably doesn't really matter. My background is not in Java so everything I "know" about Maven is from my experience in the Clojure ecosystem and is purely observational.
I was initially intrigued because two-letter domain names are very hard to come by and my assumption was that, when the group id is a reverse domain name, the domain is associated with the entity that created the project. Some of my work has to do with domains, so, out of curiosity, I take a peek at the associated website whenever I use a library that has a reverse domain group id. I don't recall ever finding a completely unrelated website, which led to me developing my previously stated assumption. As you said, this probably doesn't matter for a Maven artifact group id. The only potential problems I see are 1. people like me might be confused and 2. there is a chance, however small, that om.org will start using Clojure and dispute your use of their group id. I'm not sure what would happen in the latter case, but the Clojars about doc ( https://github.com/ato/clojars-web/wiki/About#what-do-i-do-if-someones-taken-my-group-name) says that one of the criteria for dispute resolution is demonstrated domain ownership. Anyway, thanks again for Om and sorry for being a downer regarding the new group id.
