Bug 488181

[Tempoarily in the 'artifacts' component, will move to "CBI p2repo aggregator" once it exists.] 

I am opening this bug in response to bug 487543 comment 6. 

I believe bundles and packages should be renamed to "cbi" namespace, once the move is complete, instead of leaving in "b3" namespace. But the advantages are not as obvious to others as it is to me. 

Mickael mentioned in bug 487543 comment 6 that it would lead to confusion, but am not sure what that means, etc. 

My motivation in renaming bundles and packages it that it then makes it clear what project the bundles belong to (and where to open bugs, look for documentation, etc.). From my experience the bundle and package names have a large "psychological" effect on users -- such that if is does not match the "home" project, user have a hard time believing that the home project is really its home. 

We did this for the "simrel" reporting bundle and packages with the only difference being that "simrel" was not previously an official "Project". 
There was no problem with Git maintaining history. 

The other difference is the package is mentioned a few time in the EMF model, but I would assume that would be an easy fix. The two model files are located in 
org.eclipse.b3.aggregator/model
I would propose to do a "manual rename" using tools and commit to Git before "regenerating" the model so that the files do not appear as "new" (which might mess up history). 

So, my proposal, once the project is moved and building in its new location that we do the rename mentioned in bug 487543.
