Me and my team are creating a new project on IntelliJ Idea and it asks for GroupID and ArtifactID. We would like to know the purpose of GroupID and ArtifactID and how to use it. Thanks.

3These are [Maven](https://maven.apache.org/) properties. See the linked duplicates, and [the official Maven docs](https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-naming-conventions.html) – Michael Oct 29 '18 at 12:05

and they're neither java, nor intellij related – Stultuske Oct 29 '18 at 12:08

2@Stultuske Eh, I think it's fair to say it's Java-related. While Maven isn't strictly a Java tool, I've never seen anyone use it for anything else. – Michael Oct 29 '18 at 12:10

@Michael groupId and artifactId are pure maven. sure, they are used a lot in Java projects, then again, so is english. I don't consider the difference between "their, they're and there" to be Java relatedd either. – Stultuske Oct 29 '18 at 12:26
