In other Apache projects like this, I've seen something like:
<projectname>-core
as the main parent artifact. So, how about instead of unidata, something like:
netcdf-core
Would that work?

+1. I ran into this with the 4.2 version published to Central. I had to
customize and include the common jars in the release artifact.
