Re: [Springframework-developer] JARs .. can they be named based on their version ?

[<jue...@we...>]

Note that the Spring jar files contain the exact version number in the =
manifest file within the jar, just like jars of Apache products do. =
Furthermore, as of the upcoming 1.0 final, our third-party lib directory =
contains a readme.txt that specifies the exact product version and usage =
within Spring for each jar.

Cameron,

What's stopping you from renaming them yourself, and deploying that way? =

This is what I do personally in some projects that use Spring.=20
Everything has a version number, whether it shipped that way or not.

I realize we could do it too in Spring out of the gate, but there's pros =

and cons to both sides though...

Regards,
Colin
