Hello list, We are working on a Maven plugin that makes downloading large external resources easier through a caching scheme. We would like to open source and publish the plugin as we believe it is generally useful.
What are best practices for naming plugins? Our artifact id is download-maven-plugin and my understanding is that a maven prefix is reserved for Maven's own plugins. What about group ids? Our group id is currently com.atilika. I'm seeing that Maven's own plugins use group id org.apache.maven.plugins. I'm also seeing that many third party packages use group ids such as com.foocompany. Which group id is preferable - com.atilika or com.atilika.maven.plugins? Are there any best practices or recommendations here? Many thanks, Christian
