Following naming conventions


When defining coordinates for your Maven project, you must always follow the naming conventions.

The value of the groupId element should follow the same naming convention you use in Java package names. It has to be a domain name (the reverse of the domain name) that you own, or at least your project is developed under.

The following lists out some of the naming conventions related to groupId:

  • The name of the groupId element has to be in lower case.

  • Use the reverse of a domain name that can be used to uniquely identify your project. This will also help to avoid collisions between artifacts produced by different projects.

  • Avoid using digits or special characters (that is, org.wso2.carbon.identity-core).

  • Do not try to group two words into a single word by camel casing (that is, org.wso2.carbon.identityCore).

  • Make sure that all the subprojects developed under different teams in the same company finally inherit from the same groupId element and extend the name of the parent...
