[OpenDaylight Discuss] [opendaylight-dev] TWS on reorganizing the OpenFlow projects

And the need to have a new groupID means that downstream projects would be affected and have to change their dependency information in their pom files.

I'll point out a couple of things with a restructure:

1) Build history might potentially be lost if the projects change their
final component name (which is unlikely). Just changing the logical
parentage shouldn't be an issue though we would have to lock access to
the repos during the transition.

2) We base the artifact namespacing upon the repo name. So, an example
of foo/bar/baz.git in Gerrit would have a namespace of
org.opendaylight.foo.bar.baz.* in Nexus.

3) With #2 in mind a reorg does mean that their merge jobs will fail
until they update their groupID to the newly designated groupID.
