             Summary: display root/aggregate groupId:artifactId when 
multi-module
                 Key: MARTIFACT-78
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MARTIFACT-78
             Project: Maven Artifact Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: artifact:describe-build-output (experimental)
    Affects Versions: 3.5.3
            Reporter: Herve Boutemy
            Assignee: Herve Boutemy
             Fix For: 3.6.0


root/aggregate module notion is key to clarify the (aggregated) project vs the 
individual modules

let's display it to increase visibility

context: Maven perfectly defines gav coordinates for each module
but for complex project, which are multi-module, what is the project's 
coordinate? Should it be one of the modules gav? which one?
this is one of the complexities of Reproducible Central: choice of directory 
where to store project's rebuilds info
for simple mono module, it is dead simple: the ga is there to store versions
for multi-module, it's less obvious: ga of root module? (even if it contains 
"-root" or "-parent" ugly suffix) what if there are multiple groupIds? what if 
root module is not parent? what if root module ga changes over time/versions?
