I'm finally getting back to this thread, sorry for the delay.
I got a similar answer from the maven mailing list. Their stance is that the maven repository is for artifacts which are used by maven, which wouldn't be the same as a final destination for our distribution. I'm in favor of moving the source and binary archives to a different location, if there's a good spot available to us. Does anyone object to putting the releases somewhere outside of a maven repository? I don't think this is urgent for the 0.9.7 release since we can't get rid of the ugly -project names now, but it might be nice to have a solution for when OpenJPA graduates.

In Geronimo, we publish to the maven repo as maven likes, but when we publish to the apache distribution mirrors (for website downloads), we name the files as we like. -dain On Apr 11, 2007, at 8:34 AM, Michael Dick wrote: > Hi, > > I'm hitting a bit of a snag with the staging repository for release > 0.9.7. > Recently we made changes to remove -project from our the zip file > names.
