The assembly is still going to have the version number in the filename when it gets deployed to the repository, but I bet you can find a way to remove the version number in the files *inside* the assembly. Another idea to get a version-less filename without duplicating the file: use a symlink on the repository server. So you might have repo.mycompany.com/maven2/com/mycompany/project/1.0/project-1.0.war and repo.mycompany.com/dist/project.war which is just a link to the original. The link would have to be updated for each release. Or you could get even fancier with some code that served up the latest version based on the repository metadata when it got a request for 'project.war'. (Actually this thread already prompted a feature request for a repository manager to allow browsing to groupId/artifactId/[latest|release] based on the metadata.)
