This is what it used to be, without the SNAPSHOT.

We wen't from 1.0-beta-1 to 1.0-beta-2 to 1.0-beta-3 and are now in the 
middle of 1.0-beta-4. So it is more meaningful, as there is some history 
in the existing versions on ibiblio.

I don't understand why you have to go change any of the existing taglib 
builds, as they are all using SNAPSHOT, which is just the term for the 
latest (and symlinked) release in the repository (local or remote). A 
<version>SNAPSHOT</version> should never be needed, as you can create a 

maven jar:snapshot

And copy the resulting jar to the repository (there are admin scripts to 
do it to ibiblio, you can do it locally by hand), as 
commons-jelly-SNAPSHOT.jar

The -SNAPSHOT.jar is not representative of the <version> tag, it's the 
latest build of that jar, regardless of version.

I hope this helps explain things.
