Issue with maven snapshot pull strategy

[Kay Kay]

We are trying to build our project based on ivy , that has dependencies 
on some mvn snapshots present in the apache snapshot repository.

I have added the details to the same at -
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-938 .

Our ivy settings file looks something like as follows. (Sample module- 
org.apache.hadoop / hadoop-core ).

<ivysettings>
   <property name="repo.maven.org"  value="http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/";  
override="false"/>
  <property name="snapshot.apache.org"  
value="https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/";  override="false"/>
  <property name="maven2.pattern"  
value="[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[module]-[revision]"/>
  <property name="maven2.pattern.ext"  value="${maven2.pattern}.[ext]"/>

  <settings defaultResolver="default"/>
  <resolvers>
    <!--ibiblio resolvers-->
    <ibiblio name="maven2"  root="${repo.maven.org}"  m2compatible="true"/>
    <ibiblio name="apache-snapshot"  root="${snapshot.apache.org}"  
m2compatible="true"
        checkmodified="true"  changingPattern=".*SNAPSHOT"/>

    <chain name="default"  dual="true">
      <resolver ref="maven2"/>
      <resolver ref="apache-snapshot"  />
    </chain>
  </resolvers>

</ivysettings>

When a new release is made and symlinked to 0.21.0-SNAPSHOT, and when we 
do ivy-retrieve - what we want is to get the new jars down to 
~/.ivy2/cache and used by the build process. But that does not seem to 
be happening.  Any workaround for the same that exists ?
