The existing artefacts in maven central have a group id of "postgresql",
an artefact id of "postgresql" and a version format of "9.1-901-1.jdbc4".
See e.g.
http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cgav%7C1%7Cg%3A%22postgresql%22%20AND%20a%3A%22postgresql%22

Is there a particular reason to change the all of that at this point? I
know I personally would probably have made the group "org.postgresql" and
the artefact id "jdbc-driver" and maybe specified the jdbc version as a
classifier (although some build systems are a bit funny about classifiers).
But people have been using the existing group and artefact id, so I don't
see much point changing it now.
