So you are actually swapping a JAR when you change it? So if you have a project that requires has moved from v1.1 to v1.2 of foo.jar what do you do with the v1.1 of the jar and what do you do if you have a project that requires v1.1 of foo.jar? Do you keep a directory structure with version numbers and version jars with no version numbers contained within that structure? I am trying to figure out a document that describes a JAR repository. The way Maven works both methods would work: a versioned directory structure with versionless jars, or a single directory with versioned jars. Even if the version is in the manifest, if you want to store more than a single version of the JAR you obviously can't put them in the same directory. The JAR repository could be made to work both ways. If it's on a unix machine symlinks could be used on the server and if this was to cause problems on a windows machine they could be duplicated I suppose. > Personally, I think version numbers belong inside the JAR (in the > META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file) where tools can get to them reliably, rather > than in the filename itself, where users can easily mess them up.
