[jira] [Commented] (PROTON-521) Replace "proton-project" with "proton" in maven related build files

["Robbie Gemmell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Robbie Gemmell commented on PROTON-521:
---------------------------------------

Could you elaborate on how changing the name make things easier in a particular?

The 'proton' artifact name is not currently used, but it was used previously for the main artifact of the Java implementation (which is now going to be called 'proton-j', and inbetween times was split between 'proton-j-impl' and 'proton-api' before being recombined recently). At a previous point, the 'proton-project' pom used to be called 'qpid-proton' but was then renamed over a year ago for some reason.

We really need to stop renaming artifacts all the time since it is making quite a mess in the repos and is confusing (the one and only time they have been consistent across a release so far was for 0.6 as far as I can tell, and are already changing for 0.7). On top of this, using the same name for two different things (which both still exist) over time isn't particularly friendly, I think we need a really good reason to do it.
