[jira] Created: (MNG-2968) Forbid dots in artifactId
Forbid dots in artifactId
-------------------------
Key: MNG-2968
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2968
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: POM
Affects Versions: 2.0.6, 2.1-alpha-1
Reporter: Carlos Sanchez
Fix For: 2.1-alpha-1
artifactIds with dots are potential trouble. They prevent using groupId.artifactId as identifier and later parse it back

[jira] Commented: (MNG-2968) Forbid dots in artifactId

Jacob Robertson commented on MNG-2968:
--------------------------------------
Let me give an example of where you might like to have dots which follow the expected java package structure inside a project.
project name:webservices.util
cvs module name:webservices.util
groupId:com.mycompany.webservices
artifactId:webservices.util
project name:webservices.xfire
cvs module name:webservices.xfire
groupId:com.mycompany.webservices
artifactId:webservices.xfire
We wouldn't want to have an artifact id of just "util" for the first project, because that would be confusing and problematic with tools like copy-dependencies since we'd undoubtably have more than one project with an artifact of "util". So, we'd be more likely to do "webservices-util" which now means our artifact id is out of synch with (A) the project name, (B) the cvs module name and (C) the java package name.

--------------------------------------
I certainly understand and respect what you're trying to accomplish, but the sad fact is that if this suggested fix is implemented, it will break 90% of the artifacts in my company, and will mean we have to do re-tooling on the inhouse things we've done that depend on artifact id, cvs module name, and project name all being the same. This is a sweeping, non-backwards-compatible change, and it shouldn't be done lightly.

-------------------------------------
I understand, and this change won't happen before the tools like the copy-dependencies support this other way
this is how I see it
project name:util
groupId:com.mycompany.webservices
artifactId:util
war, copy-dependencies, eclipse,... would use as id/name of the jar/... com.mycompany.webservices.util
because still, webservices.util may conflict with something else

Jacob Robertson commented on MNG-2968:
--------------------------------------
Making this change would be costly for my company, as our standard is to use dots in all our artifact names instead of dashes. Our group ids and artifact ids are designed to closely mimic the top-level package names in each java project. This allows us to use consistent naming standards in eclipse, maven, cvs, and java packages. All with dots.
To make this change, I think you'll first have to quantify very clearly what the actual benefits are versus the risk of making another sweeping backwards incompatible change.

Carlos Sanchez commented on MNG-2968:
-------------------------------------
to mimic the package names is why there's groupId+artifactId
groupId can have dots, artifactId shouldn't
but to do this the other plugins should use the concatenation of groupId+artifactId, like the eclipse plugin.

------------------------------------
I don't think we can do this. You are going to tank tons and tons of builds. We allowed this so it's like the envars where we didn't do this up front so now we have to live with. Something like this so fundamental can't change. We just have to suck it up.

-------------------------------------
Isn't it possible to use a colon as separator? This is also used in several notations already e.g. when defining the included artifacts in the depednencySet of the assembly descriptor.

Jason van Zyl closed MNG-2968.
------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
We simply can't do this for backward compatibility reasons. It's just too much pain for users.
