I agree.  This practice has the feel of a shortcut around maven's
versioning system that we may regret taking later.

Best wishes,

I think it is really loopy that we have version information in
artifact ids.  A few people outside of the group have mentioned this
too me too.

IMO it would be better if the artifact ids of the specs did not have
any version muck, and the version of that module was based on the
spec version + a revision number.

So for example, the spec here would be:

<groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>
<artifactId>geronimo-j2ee-management</artifactId>
<version>1.1-1</version>

(or 1.1-1-SNAPSHOT for evil mvn snapshot muck)

Anyways, I'm not going to do anything about this... but I will
continue to point out that putting version information into
artifactIds is a poor idea... and generally a bad one at that.
