Hi Graham, yes there is. Our operations team defined this convention. Their deploy script looks for ear files that are named after this pattern. But the timestamp part after the "appname.ear_" is completely arbitrary. It's meant to be a version marker to distinguish different EAR files. The deploy script always picks the EAR file with the most recent file date (i.e. the date which can be updated by using "touch".) I just created a separate Maven EAR module and also used the build-number-plugin which Tim Kettler recommended. The build-number-plugin now creates an EAR file name like "appname.ear_20070928.ear", i.e. it still appends a surplus ".ear" suffix. But since the version marker part of the EAR file's name is arbitrary, I can live with this. Thanks every one for helping me.
