I think that the suffix should end with AR so that the file type is
easily recognizable as JAR like. Since 3 letters look better than 4
and SAR is already taken, this would leave us with XAR. The fact that
this suffix is already used by Excel Autorecovery files should not be
too annoying because Excel places these files in single directory
(somewhere under User Data or so) and users should normally not see
them elsewhere in their file system. Also note that after all, for
Resource Adapter Archives Sun defined the suffix RAR, which is much
more common.

Initially I proposed SXAR for Synapse eXtension ARchive, but after
giving it some thought, I believe that XAR sounds better. I would
like to have the opinion of the developer and user community on
this. Any comments and suggestions are welcome!
I didn't like SXAR since it feels too long.. but .SAR would have
been good - if it didn't conflict with the Jboss stuff.. so I
guess .xar would be ok for us
