[Discuss] Review plugin-tools groupId and version

[Vincent Siveton <vi...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I noticed that due to [1], the groupId for
maven-plugin-testing-harness is no more org.apache.maven.shared.
Moreover, we will do a jump from 1.1 to 2.4 [2].
Similar problems occur for maven-plugin-tools-* and only
maven-plugin-plugin is not affected by this version pb.

I propose to create a new groupId: org.apache.maven.plugint-tools.

Thoughts?

Vincent

I think that bringing them together under a group is ok, but I don't
think they should be versioned together. The tools are mostly
independent and updating one shouldn't mean it has to wait for bugs in
the other before being released. That's the opposite of agile...

I'm not a big fan of changing groupIds. It might be that I got burned, 
trying to pull that off at Apache Commons.

We should ask ourselves this: What would we gain from changing groupIds?

An obvious down-side is the confusion it creates for the people using 
the artifacts. In this case that's each and every plugin developer out 
there.

Since a release has not been made yet, can't we just go back? So that 
each artifact uses the groupIds that they had before the plugin-tools 
merger.
