Maven insists on naming the jar artifactid-version.jar since we wanted
our jars to follow the bundle_symolicname-version.jar convention it
forces duplication in the artifact id.
This is why I was asking if we could get the jar name to be generated
from the group and artifact id on IRC last week.

AIUI, and based on release discussions so far, when we release the
artifacts they will be pushed up to Nexus by the maven release
plugin.
Those artifacts in turn come from the local .m2 repo put there by mvn
install.
So I cleaned out my .m2/repository/org/apache/aries then did a mvn
clean install to see what was there. I think we need to move things
about a bit (or rather rename some artifactIds) to make our
artifactIds and groupIds consistently named. Later, after the 0.1
release, we could also improve things to make sure there is a
consistent relationship between source tree location and location of
the built artifact in the repo.
A built artifact is always given the name of the artifactId - and
even
if there were a way of changing that, from an ease of understanding
point of view, we probably shouldn't as that is what anyone who uses
maven assumes.
Many of our bundle artifacts (all except the samples) follow the
<package name>-<version> naming convention which means their
artifactIds also do - this is the same as the bundle artifacts of the
Felix subprojects. So I suggest we follow the same pattern applying
it
across the samples too. This has the effect of giving us uniquely
named artifactIds across the whole project (e.g. we don't have two
artifacts called "api" for example) - which means m2eclipse is happy
by default.
I seem to recall some discussion on this previously, but can't say I
came away with an understanding. So, I'll ask my naive question...
What's the motivation for naming artifactid's this way? e.g.:
org/apache/aries/blueprint/org.apache.aries.blueprint.core/0.1-
incubating-SNAPSHOT/org.apache.aries.blueprint.core-0.1-incubating-
SNAPSHOT.jar
