[hibernate-dev] Changing group ids from org.hibernate to org.hibernate.{project}

Wed Oct 5 22:10:13 EDT 2016

To clarify my last reply...

Today all of the artifacts under org.hibernate are published to JBoss Nexus
and then rsync'ed to Central.  When I move to publishing the artifacts for
ORM to Central "directly" (via OSSRH), those artifacts need to be excluded
from the rsync.  But today, because all (most) of the projects use
org.hibernate as the groupId there is no single directory I can say to
exclude.  Instead we'd have to list the ORM artifacts explicitly,
individually.  The problem ofc being when we add a new module to ORM we'd
have to remember to add that to the list of exclusions.

Thinking about it more though, don't we have that problem anyway since we
still want to publish relocation artifacts?
