Changing jar file names in uimaj-ep-runtime plugin
I want to get the other committers' opinion on this. It has to do
with Joern's proposed patch to the uimaj-ep-runtime plugin so that mvn
eclipse:eclipse will create a PDE project instead of a regular Java
project.
Because of mvn eclipse:eclipse has limited configuration options, it
appears we'd have to change the names of the jar files in the runtime
plugin to use the default Maven names, which include the version
number. Do we want to do that?
More info in the JIRA issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-355.

There are 2 ways that Eclipse uers may use UIMA Runtime plugin:
1. Use the UIMA plugin jars from the Java project (which is NOT a plugin
project) as external Jars or Library
2. Use the UIMA plugin as "a plugin" from a Plugin project
For the #1, users need to modified their setting everytime a new
version/build of UIMA come out. I think this is an overhead for the users
that we should avoid.

So if the user don't see the jars and if the administration of the xml
files is easy to do I'm fine with that.
I don't what to have many places where we have to change the jar file
names for each new release.

We can give only the jars inside the eclipse plugins version numbers.
Nobody will notice this cause the osgi runtime hides this fact from
the user.
The only thing which is important for the user is that the plugin
name does
not change.
I think this can be easily done inside the assemble-plugin.xml.
What do you think ?

I strongly dislike jar file names with version numbers in them. Every
time you get a new version you have to update classpath settings in
script files, eclipse run configurations, or whever else jar files are
referred to by name. I just think it's very impractical and would be
annoying to our users.

I don't like the idea to have different names for the same version of
the jar. I think it will be better to have the same name for all jars.
As I understand the uimaj-core-2.2-incubating-SNAPSHOT.jar naming schema
is the default that maven generates and as far as I know it
is also what most of the Apache projects use.
So we already had the discussion about the uima jar file names earlier,
but maybe we can have them again with this new aspects. It think it will be
more transparent for the users if all jars that have the same content
also have the same name.
I currently can't find the main issues of the naming discussion, does
anyone else remember?
