Using '-' as separator between GroupID and ArtifactID (Maven) is a poor choice - not unique. #33036

Copied from discussion in [30568] - originally for a different issue and now closed with pending PR.

Gitea made a poor descision (IMHO) to use the separator '-' between groupID and artifactID.

Consider the following:

<groupId>foo</groupId>
<artifactId>bar-jdbc</artifactId>
<version>1-SNAPSHOT</version>

<groupId>foo-bar</groupId>
<artifactId>jdbc</artifactId>
<version>1-SNAPSHOT</version>

Both result in the same URL:
packages/maven/foo-bar-jdbc/1-SNAPSHOT

Although a '-' in a groupID is not "good-practice", it is not forbidden and perfectly valid and in common use.

For example:

<dependency>
    <groupId>commons-lang.wso2</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId>
    <version>2.6.0.wso2v1</version>
</dependency>
