Need advice on plugin´s maven group ID

[Martin Weber]

Hi,

I just inherited a plugin which seems to have had its first incarnation in
Hudson.
Any wiki and SCM URLs in the pom.xml still point to the Hudson project, which
nowadays is now plain wrong.
I want to update these URLs; I guess is does not impact any existing
installations.

But the project´s pom currently has 'hudson.plugins.cmake' as its group ID
(despite the parent ID of 'org.jenkins-ci.plugins').

Two questions:

1) Would it be of no impact on existing installations (regarding plugin
updates) if I change the group ID to 'org.jenkins-ci.plugins'?

2) Would it be of no impact if I change the maven project name from 'Hudson
CMake plugin' to 'CMake plugin'?

TIA,
Martin

The only one you *need* to keep the same is the xpath:/project/artifactId

If you know that there are no plugins depending on your plugin, it is 100% safe to change the xpath:/project/groupId

If you do not know if there are plugins depending on your plugin, it is 95% safe to change the xpath:/project/groupId (i.e. Jenkins throws out the groupId when setting up inter-plugin dependencies, the 5% is more that these dependent projects may not see the new version when using `mvn versions:display-dependency-updates`)

The xpath:/project/name is not used for anything critical. Change away!
