I want to deploy binary artifacts (Linux and Mac OS X executables) to a Maven repository using Gradle’s `MavenPublication` such that they are stored in the repository **without** a file extension (as is the case by default for binaries/executables on Linux and Mac).

Say I have a binary `foo` in version `1.0.0`; in Maven terminology these would be the `artifactId` and `version`, respectively. The closest I can get is to deploy it under the name `foo-1.0.0.` - note the trailing dot (`.`). I would rather want it to be stored under the name `foo-1.0.0` (i.e., without the dot). I tried not specifying the `extension` property, and I also tried specifying an empty `extension=''`.

```gradle
publishing {
  publications {
    maven(MavenPublication) {
      artifact("some/parent/dir/foo") {
        extension ''
      }
    }
  }
}

```

Is it possible to achieve this?
