Single jar in the same format of staging will be better, so that no
other build changes required.
But from current maven.repo.remote order staged jar will be downloaded
for now, we can change that to add maven-repository.dev.java.net if
everyone think we should start using this repository for some jars like
mail.jar, and other pushed jars.

I think we should follow the same versioning convention, that is
followed currently..
glassfish.peorb.name=peorb9
glassfish.peorb.version=b01

if you follow same jar format as staging while pushing to maven
repository, no need to change the build..

1176559 Thu Apr 13 17:52:04 PDT 2006 optorbcomp.jar
2054438 Thu Apr 13 17:46:50 PDT 2006 peorb.jar
There jars are getting added in appserv-rt.jar in post-bootstrap step in
glassfish/bootstrap/glassfish.xml
<zipfileset src="${omgapi.jar}" excludes="META-INF/**"/>
<zipfileset src="${optorbcomp.jar}" excludes="META-INF/**"/>
<zipfileset src="${peorb.jar}" excludes="META-INF/**"/>
Hope this helps, others can add more if anything is missing.
thanks
