---------------------------------------------------------------

If "File Name Mapping" renames TLDs etc. as well, perhaps a tag like <archiveName>myname.jar</archiveName> would be great to complement <archiveClasses>true</archiveClasses>; to be able to replace the default <artefactId>-<version>.jar with myname.jar.

      was (Author: draenor):
    Simply put, when using "<archiveClasses>true</archiveClasses>" to archive classes into a jar-file it would be necessary to be able to name the produced file to something other than<artefactId>-<version>.jar, as identified by Paulo. 

The new tag could be something similar to "<archiveName>a name</archiveName>".

> Maven put on my 'lib' folder the jars of my project's dependencies named like <artefactId>-<version>.jar
> This is a problem when we need to reference the jar filename from sourcecode, because if we change the dependency version, we have to track all source code references to it and correct them. This is the case when importing a taglib into a jsp page
> It would be better if Maven put only <artefactId>.jar on the lib folder. And even better if it let us use any custom name we want for the dependencies. If no name is specified, then it could use the current pattern.
