[jboss-dev] why strip version from jarnames?

[Adrian Brock]

Some places reference the jar names.
It would be a pain to change these on every update
of a dependency.

There are users that do the same.

The testsuite is no longer a problem, it uses 
ant classpath definitions that are generated by maven.
