As described below, I'm producing two different branded SWFs of an
application. Each has it's own pom, specifying the appropriate <sourceFile>.

They are not currently placed in a repository - rather an external build
system (not based on Maven) picks them up.
I'm not sure if this would be considered bad practice, but is there a way to
give both SWF's the same name, even if the artifactId is different?
It seems that the <name> tag does not affect the output file name, and a
simple output tag puts the file beside the pom, and doesn't include the
SNAPSHOT suffix.

Not a big deal, as the external build system renames the file(s) anyway, but
I'm curious.
