I've seen 'activation-jar-x.x.jar' used to good effect.

As long as that occurs an explicit name or a suitably descriptive name would be sufficient… --kevan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
