Question about Ivy RoundUp

Hi all,

I just added the Roundup repo to my resolver chain and downloaded the
ant-contrib module. Before that I had that modules downloaded from a
maven mirror (with a namespace rule that added 'net.sourceforge.' to the
organization name).
But why is the module's organization name
'net.sourceforge.ant-contrib' when downloaded from maven, and
'net.sourceforge.antcontrib' when downloaded from Ivy Roundup?

BTW: I'm migrating to Ivy RoundUp, because these maven repositories are
like 'Kraut & Rüben' compared to Ivy RoundUp.

Thanks in advance,
	Martin

Ah, ok. Not just a typo.

Thanks for pointing that out. I just guessed the org names by browsing
through (maven) repositories.

Then the name from Ivy RoundUp makes sense; ant-contrib has the package
net.sf.antcontrib.

There is no one true standard for organization names, so it's up to each
repository to figure them out.

Ivy RoundUp tries to follow it's own internal
guidelines<http://code.google.com/p/ivyroundup/wiki/ModuleMaintainerGuidelines>.
Typically they are based on java package names.
