Title says it all. Is it possible to get the name of a Project’s jarfile name from the Project object?

Yes. Depends on what you mean by “name”. The name is something like _foo-1.0.jar_ and the “path” is _/Users/me/workspaces/project/build/libs/foo-1.0.jar_. I’ll assume you mean the latter 🙂

```
jar.archivePath
```
