I think /build/root.pom.xml ought to be enough for figuring out versions, so I don't think a VERSIONS.txt file is necessary. I don't know whether I like version-labeled jars or not. One thing I like about jars without version numbers is the fact that I can run a copy-lib command to copy seam's lib jars into mine, and outdated jars are just overwritten, instead of me having to manually delete them. This is more useful if you're running off cvs, I guess. It'd be interesting if you could specify a build parameter that would give you version-labeled jars if you want them. Not as high a priority as many other FRs in jira, though, in my opinion. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4092198#...
