People sometimes like to have the ability to drop-in updates to library Jars in a running appserver instance without creating a whole new build and officially deploying it etc. If you remove the version number before deploying, you can just drop abc-1.1.2.jar over abc-1.1.1.jar by renaming both to abc.jar.
I don't personally ascribe to this method, but for some reason, its very popular. This is not the first time I've seen this question on the mail list. And I don't honestly recall the answer from the last time it was asked. Wayne On 9/28/06, Barrie Treloar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

You loose the valuable version information then. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
