It seems like it should have been that way all along. What was the
reason for not having version numbers in the jars, and why the
switch now?
A few jars have been upgraded in order to support the new version
of FOP (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-311);
according to new internal rules for the project (http://
docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Committers+Roles+and
+Responsibilities), from now on the version number will always be
appended to jar files (it could still be missing in older ones).
The reason the versions weren't there in the older ones is that we
didn't always have a fancy classpath loader like we do now and every
jar file had to be explicitly added to the classpath, and to make it
more interesting that had to happen in multiple files because for a
while we also didn't have the cool appserver component templates that
we do now.
