I'd like to revisit this issue, which turns out to be significant
after all.  Property ext.name is used for both directory names and the
name of the jar file.  This is not good since you want the directory
names to change between versions whereas the jar file name should
remain the same.

Case 1:
ext.name=gridshib-idp

Good for jar file name, bad for directory names.  When the next
version of the plugin is released, the new files are installed in the
same directory leaving some old files behind (specifically, those
files removed in the new version).

Case 2:
ext.name=gridshib-idp-0.3.1

Good for directory names, bad for the jar file (for obvious reasons).

Seems like the only solution is to have separate names for the
directories and the jar file.
