But why do we want to use "jetty5" and then "jetty6" all in the same

I don't think the version should be here.
Actually I don't think that we need a version for the jee5 stuff
either. It should be jee, or probably javaee, adding the version
just means that every release we will have to change the name of the
module and reconfigure everything. There was j2ee before, which was
effectively the same as jee, it was not j2ee14, which would be the
same as the jee5 that we have now. I don't think there is a plan to
support more than one version of teh java enterprise edition per G
server release, therefor the addition of spec version to our modules
is unneeded and adds extra complexity which we should lean away from.
For the tc6 integration I used "jee5" in the assembly ids because the
jetty assemblies in trunk already used it. I certainly don't mind if
anyone wants to change them.
Same thing with jetty/tomcat integration... I don't think we want to
(or plan to) support more than one version of these per G server
release, so the version here in the assembly id just complicates
usage. Meaning when jetty7 is out, then not only do you have to
configure the assembly config with the new artifactId, you also have
to go configure everyone who is using that assembly to use the new
id, that rather negates some of the purpose of that id... its an
alias... saying give me the G server that has jetty.
I agree with you but I thought this was more or less hashed out last
week in this thread:

The consensus appeared to me that the tomcat and jetty artifactIds
should include the version numbers so I made the change, although it
was with some trepidation because personally I prefer to keep version
numbers out of the artifactIds. At this point I think we are very
close to tagging 2.0-M1 but maybe there is still time to change it if
you feel strongly.
Blah... I'm just trying to keep build configuration complexity in
check... but I'm getting a bit tired of trying :-\
I think we all sincerely appreciate what you're trying to do and
realize that getting these seemingly trivial things right will matter
a great deal in the long run. So don't give up on us :-)
Best wishes,
