The assembly descriptor id (e.g. <id>src</id>) is automatically appended to the name of the archives created by the assembly plugin.
Up until version 2.2-beta-4 of the plugin, the <id> tag was allowed to be empty, but with 2.2 this changed [1] - the id must now be not-empty. This means that for example the binary archives will have -bin appended to the archive name. There is a configuration item that can be used to suppress the suffix: <appendAssemblyId>false</appendAssemblyId> However this suppresses the suffix for both bin and src (i.e. they then have the same name), and it does not appear to be possible to suppress the suffix only for the binary archives. Therefore I think we should standardise on -bin (and -src) suffixes for the archives (we cannot stay on assembly 2.2-beta4 forever). This means ensuring that the appropriate property is set for the commons download plugin: <commons.binary.suffix>bin</commons.binary.suffix> <commons.release.2.binary.suffix>bin</commons.release.2.binary.suffix> S.
