OK, to be precise he is obviously *also* talking about the jars. However, even for the two artifacts in the download area: The finalName parameter will only influence the name of those two artifacts in the local target directory. It has no relevance for the name of the artifact that will be deployed into the remote repository (here: the staging area). A release manager will therefore not only have to move the files into the download area, but also has to rename them again to the "proper" names. - Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
