title: How to upload Jar to Archiva without having the Version number appended?
body: <p>If I use the UI Console to add a jar file to our Apache Archiva Maven Repo the version number is added to the jar file, but that's not what we want. For example if you browse <a href="http://mvnrepository.com/" rel="nofollow">http://mvnrepository.com/</a> to get a jar to download the version is a sub folder and not attached to the jar file name. </p>
  
  <p>As you can see below I'm trying to add a 3rd party Jar to the repo via the UI but the version gets attached to the name.</p>
