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.


Why? Jar files should contain the version. The ones that don't drive me
nuts. Java is broken fundamentally in terms of versioning libraries, but
this makes it worse.

I agree. On the bright side the next version of Java fixes this problem.... just like Windows fixed the problem with DLL versioning. ;)
