Hi,
I'm sure this has surfaced in the past, but can we discuss a standard for
naming JARs. Right now I am trying to use a JJAR-like task and the lib.repo
method for building and I have the following patterns in use:
project.jar
project-Major.Minor.jar
project-Major.Minor.Patch.jar
The automated build I think would work better with version numbers in the
names of the JARs: it clearly identifies what it is, it additionally allows
you to keep a set of jars in the same directory.
So a project descriptor would state what the released version of package is
to be used for a build. The project descriptor could also state what the
latest version of a package is so that could be used if desired. There could
also be some local configuration to mix & match these so I don't think
naming the JARs will be a maintenance problem if it's all taken care of by
the automated build system. The majority of the JARs I'm using right now
have version numbers in the names of the JAR.
