[jboss-dev] why strip version from jarnames?

[Paul Gier]

When I switched the build to Maven I just kept the jars without versions because 
that's how it was before.  There are still a few places that refer to the 
specific jars names, but we can change this if we want.  As Adrian said, most of 
the testsuite jar references are created automatically, so it would only be an 
issue for the few that still refer directly to the name.
