[Geoserver-devel] Maven 2.0

Hi,

I am busy converting maven 1.0 to maven 2.0, I see that many of the maven 2.0 jar have a "??-SNAPSHOT" version number. Why? What is the purpose of the "-SNAPSHOT".

Something that is bugging me so I need some clarification.

Hi Clint,

If I am not mistaken the version of "SNAPSHOT" is a special version that tells maven to always download the library from the remote repository, even if its already located in the local repositpory.

Hi Justin,

SHIT... I have been copying all the latest jars from Maven 1.0, basically ??-2.3.x to M2 repo, then renaming them to "??-SNAPSHOT" so that I did not need to change the POM.xml, if you understand what I am saying.

I just leave the file as ??-2.3.x and change the exsisting POM.xml.

Regards Clint
