[JBoss-dev] Re: Version numbers in library filenames - Bad

[Ryan Campbell]

We will want both, correct?  versionless jars for non-maven, versioned
for maven?

It looks like the jarName can be overriden. I'll see if I can rebuild
the jboss-common jars without the version as it will require a constant
updating of the eclipse projects in jbossas since jbossas is not build
using maven yet.

I don't have an example at hand.
