I'm not especially familiar with Maven - does it actually enforce that
you include the version number in the JAR file name, or simply the
names of the artifacts you publish? Put another way - is Maven
specifically a JAR repository, or is it more general than that?

If we launch an apache release without version numbers in the JAR
files, does that then preclude us from deploying the 1.1 release
through Maven?
