The disadvantages
-no obvious 'latest version' in the repository
-harder to field support calls, "what is the hash of your artifacts"?



Not to mention, really complicating the job of upgrading to new versions.


Is there a danger here of solving the 1% case at the expense of the 99% case?



axis-0.0.1-04f3d5aab0.jar

then you have the version and the hash... Think of the hash as similar "alpha", "beta" or "rcN" identifiers (isn't it really? Your just identifying this particular "packaging" of axis-0.0.1.).

But then again, this starts to get into the arena of Jar Signing, and there 
already is facility for that in Jar Artifacts...
