> There is often a need to change the name of a deployment, e.g. the EAR, from the default name to a stable name.
> The problem is that common Maven practice mandates a version suffix, generating a fully versioned EAR. Wildfly by default (which is only changable from CLI/management console) takes the full name without the extension.
> This leads to clunky and brittle code, e.g. JNDI lookups *have* to use the full name including version, which is most often undesirable.
> As suggested in https://developer.jboss.org/thread/213914 I am creating this issue now,-)
