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

<opinion> 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. </opinion> --jason
