Fully Qualified Artifact Names
There is a lot to like about Restlet, including even the the way they name their artifacts. You can check it out in their maven repository. Instead of just naming their jar restlet-1.0.1.jar, they name it with the full base package name: org.restlet-1.0.1.jar. That name better represents the actual name of the module. It also makes it easier to track down which class belongs to which jar, which can be helpful when you have to manually assemble a set of jars for a driver or other resource connector not in your main project.
I am going to adopt this convention for my projects from here on out, and hope other projects will as well.
