Composite archive name confusion, was: Re: sca-composite plugin
Hi Jeremy
The SCA Assembly spec defines .composites files as definitions of
composites. Wouldn't be very confusing to developers and our community in
general to see .composite files representing archives ? At least this is
what I saw while reviewing the core-samples release candidate, a
calculator-2.0-alpha-incubating.composite that is actually an archive
containing common files for the calculator sample application.
Thoughts ?

I'm not sure what would be best, maybe scar as you mentioned before, or sar
(Sca ARchive) or car (Composite ARchive).

Yep - .car is used by Geromimo (and is also confusing with a JavaEE CAR)
.sar is used by JBoss
And everyone seems to hate .scar :-(

Thinking of ".car" or ".sar", but it seems both are used by other systems.
We are running out of "_ar"!
