Hi all

the Apache tooling project is working on something that is called
"Apache Trusted Releases" which seems to require CycloneDX SBOMs to use
the .cdx.json as extension[1]. The prior art of the Maven and Gradle
plugins may force them to reconsider but I've started to change things
so we use the convention in the future. Jaikiran has questioned the file
names already and the spec seems to say "use .cdx.json"[2]
