Best practices in naming conventions on Maven artifactID (is there restriction?)

Question

My team is new to Maven and we haven\'t been able to find any definitive guidance on selecting artifactIDs for our projects.

I know that the Guide to naming conventions

Answer 1

I would argument that the groupId is like the package name in Java where the artifactId is similar to the class name (ok not really) but I think there is a relationship to the class name. In Maven you usually give a name to a module/project which is in particular the artifactId.

Furthermore I found some hints about the artifactId here.
