Updating the artifactId in pom.xml for existing plugin?

We want to migrate our plugin for re-branding. So we want to update the plugin display name and artifactId.
I think display name can be modified easily and there will be no effect.
But what if I update the artifactId in pom.xml? Will it come up as a new plugin for the next release? If yes, then is there any way that we can update the artifactId but it will still refer to the existing plugin?

changing the artifactid will make it a new plugin. Afaik there is no way to make it refer to the existing plugin.
