One simple issue I already see is that the names of the artifacts are changed in the existing pom.xml files. For example in the system project, while the current build produces jboss-system-client.jar and jboss-system.jar artifacts, the system/pom.xml  defines jboss-as-system.jar.

I spent some time the last couple weeks trying to reproduce the various module artifacts from the ant build using the maven assembly plugin.  I can reproduce the jars but it might be better to use different names than we currently use.  The assembly plugin can create jars with the same names locally (what I tried doing at first), but when the deploy plugin deploys stuff to the maven repository it changes the names to fit the maven standard.  I believe the reasoning for this has to do with the dependency resolution.

So for example, instead of jboss-system-client.jar we'll end up with jboss-as-system-${version}-client.jar.  Where "client" is a maven classifier that can be used to itdentify this jar as a dependency.
(http://snapshots.jboss.org/maven2/org/jboss/jbossas/jboss-as-system/5.0.0-SNAPSHOT/)
See build 8 for an example of the client jar.

So while the names are not the same, I tried to follow a pattern in the naming conventions in order to make it easier to find the matching jars.  Will this work?

I can change jboss-as-system to jboss-system (and follow the pattern for the rest of the artifacts) if it helps.  I just chose that convention because I thought it would make it easier to identify app server component vs. mc components, aop components, etc.
