Totally agree. Ideally it should not be necessary at all in the run scripts,
IMO, and that's one of the core points in this issue. :-)
I think the consensus here agrees with your point here.

I don't totally follow. We already use $PAX_RUNNER_HOME, which points to the
pax runner directory (which BTW already has a version number). Did you mean
something else?
Anyway... Ok, then, so redundant version numbers it is. Like I said, I can live
with that, even if it's a minor annoyance. Just thought I'd ask.

> URL: http://issues.ops4j.org/jira/browse/PAXRUNNER-164
> Project: Pax Runner
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: David Leangen
> Assignee: Alin Dreghiciu
> Priority: Minor
>
> Just wondering something...
> Would it be possible to remove the version number from the jar file when
> creating a distribution of pax-runner. The reason is this:
> When I install pax-runner to my file system, the directory structure looks
> like this:
> $PAX_HOME
> pax-runner-$VERSION
> bin
> pax-run
> pax-run.bat
> pax-runner-$VERSION.jar
> What I like to do is create a symbolic link in $PAX_HOME called "pax-runner"
> that points to the current pax-runner directory. This way, to update my
> pax-runner, all I need to do is copy the new files and update by symbolic
> link.
> Because, however, the jar holds the version number, this means that in
> addition to having to update just my symbolic link, I also have to update any
> scripts I have that make use of pax-runner, which is not a nice thing to have
> to do.
> So, it would be really nice to change pax-runner-$VERSION.jar to just
> pax-runner.jar.
> Thank you!
