This has nothing to do with the actual jar names. The version in the jar name is a poor convention as it propagates the version to users unnecessarily, and is not verifiable via a signed manifest. The jars checked into the repository should not have any explicit version information in the name. I don't care what naming conventions are used by projects elsewhere.
