Group and package changes from "eu.arrowhead" to "ai.aitia" #34

Hi, I opened this issue to discuss the following changes from version 4.3.0 to 4.4.0 of the application library: Group id has been changed from eu.arrowhead to ai.aitia group id. eu.arrowhead.client... package names changed to ai.aitia.arrowhead.application...

From my point of view, the application library hosted in the eclipse arrowhead repository is the official reference library to implement application systems. Consequently, I do not understand the change of name of the group id and the package from the neutral name eu.arrowhead to the company name ai.aitia. The library should not be linked exclusively to the aitia company. The way that is implemented now forces the user to add "ai.aitia" as a base package in the java spring skeletons in order to use the library.

I would like to have an open discussion about the reasons for these changes and their validity.

Hello,

it has been changed due to the fact, that publishing to maven central requires to prove the ownership of the domain (by placing a specified DNS record under the domain). Since this library has been developed and maintained by AITIA we saw this as the most effective way.

The change was made before moving the library into eclipse-arrowhead, but according to my understanding all the other library like kalix, phyton, etc... (from different maintainers) will be moved as well.
