Removing version number from jar file when distributing
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: PAXRUNNER-164
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!
