The only reason I can think of is that it is a pain to have to change all
the places which references a given jar when you upgrade to a new version
... Also you should think about nightly builds. Certainly the nighlty builds
will have no version in the name of the jar or if it had it would change
every day (which is even more difficult to manager from places where it is
referenced).
Create directories or better, instead of using a standard file system, use a
versioned one (like a SCCS: CVS or something like iFS from Oracle, or Slide
...).
