I thought it was my mistake originally too, but as far as I can tell there's no way to remove the -bin suffix - please see the thread: http://markmail.org/message/f4jjmhlp3ob66hlm I added the -bin to the pom in order to ensure that the generated download.xml agrees with the artifacts as generated from the 3.0 RC1 tag and already voted on. Yes, I could have renamed the archives, and waited for the mirrors again, but they had already been published, so I thought it was better to just fix the download page to agree with the archive names. I was unable to generate the binary archives without the -bin suffix except by reverting to assembly 2.2-beta5 and using an empty <id></id> in the assembly desc. However according to the Maven docs (referenced in my e-mail) this has always been an error - but only reported and detected in assembly 2.2. So I don't think we should continue to rely on that work-round. As it stands, Net trunk now corresponds with the generated download page, and should continue to do so for future releases. I don't care if the binary archive has a -bin suffix or not (though I think the majority of components currently do), so long as: - the download page has the correct link - the binary archive can be distinguished from the source archive (i.e. the source archive must have a suffix if the binary archive does not). I was not able to achieve those goals except by changing the pom as I did. If anyone can work out how to drop the -bin from the binary archives, please advise.
