I can reproduce the jars but it might be better to use different names than we currently use.  The assembly plugin can create jars with the same names locally (what I tried doing at first), but when the deploy plugin deploys stuff to the maven repository it changes the names to fit the maven standard.  I believe the reasoning for this has to do with the dependency resolution.

That's fine for the repo, but in the release there should be no version in the jar name.  jbossall-client.jar will contain a Class-Path (soon) which has all jar names in it. I don't want to re-jar because we do a component update. (That's the thing we want to get rid of.)

Personally I don't care if it's called jboss-as-system or jboss-system. We need to redo the class path entries into our build anyway.
