Howdy all

Im coming on a care more and more where a jar file has a different
suffix instead of jar in order for it to be recognised as a certain type
of deployment.

For example JBoss uses .sar for JMX deployment and .wsr for Web Services
deployment.

What would the desgin goal be here?  They are really simple jars with
only a deployment descriptor in the META-INF to make em different. 
Should the maven jar plugin simply be modified to allow for an alternate
suffix? (simple patch) Or would if be preferable for a diffenrent plugin
to be created for each (such as ear and war).  

The issue, I guess is that the deployment descriptor for each type is
not something that is easily autogenerated (unlike the ear
application.xml)

Ideas?

Thanks
