This is not our version, its the version of the spec. IIRC we had a big discussion about the best spec naming convention and decided this was it.

Despite our best intentions, we often end up releasing corrections to spec jars we've published. Can you suggest a different naming convention that will clearly and unambiguously show both the spec version and the geronimo version of a spec jar? Or do you think one of these is unnecessary?

As you can probably tell, I think this is a very good practice. I hate it when someone says they depend on "servlet.jar" and I have to open the spec jar up and try to figure out if whoever generated it bothered to include any information at all about which spec version they implemented.

I really hate that we have version information in artifactIds... this is a huge PITA when the version needs to be changed. This is a *very* bad practice. Can we please stop this madness?
