The main purpose of the group id is to identify your project across all the projects. Its just a naming schema in which you should have atleast the domain name that you control. Under a group id you can create as many as sub groups you want. Artifact Id is the name of the jar file or the war file without the version. Maven Is usually a system by which you can build your own application, perform tests, create reports and many more.
