I disagree with setting the groupId to org.apache.incubator.<podling>.
I greatly prefer requiring a version string that includes either
incubator or incubating.    (ex: 2.0-incubator,  1.3-incubating, etc..)

Putting it in the group ID causes a MUCH larger set of headaches for both
the project itself as well as all dependent projects upon graduation.
You can also end up with two jars on the classpath with the same code in
it, just different versions.

This is already a concern for existing projects coming from outside
Apache. It is completely and easily possible to become dependent on
both org.apache.wicket/wicket-1.3.0-incubating-beta1.jar and
wicket/wicket-1.2.6.jar

Only _not_ depending on podling releases will prevent this for
depending projects.
