I'll grant you that having the version number in the name of the JAR is more readable. 
 That being said, I don't think there's any need to guess when looking at a JAR 
without a version number in the name - you can easily check the manifest file to get 
version information.

This seems a relatively short-sighted stance to me.  We can tie as many of our 
internal processes to the POM as possible, but that still doesn't cover integration 
with other tools.  Until WebLogic begins using the POM to determine the name of the 
JAR file to deploy, those problems are going to exist.  Maven needs to have the 
flexibility to deal with those problems.

My inquiry isn't just about convenience.  It's about flexibility and integration with 
other J2EE tools that can't read information from Maven's POM.

Thanks,
Kyle
