I like the standardized naming of most of the Jakarta jars:
log4j-1.1.3.jar, velocity-1.3-rc1.jar, and the like.

What I don't like is using -dev in the filenames. I could be wrong, but
my guess is that this means the latest snapshot of the CVS tree, e.g.
turbine-3.0-dev.jar. 

The problem is that while released versions, be they beta or rc or what,
are hard targets. The -dev doesn't really mean anything; it can change
from day to day depending on whenever a project's developer happened to
create it.

This wouldn't really matter if all projects had their own lib dir, but
with Maven's very cool lib.repo approach, I would think the -dev could
easily start messing up things between projects.

Instead, I'd suggest that any pre-release (non-beta/non-rc) jars be
named with the date of the CVS snapshot instead of just dev. E.g.
turbine-3.0-20020527.jar.

Thanks,
Stephen
