Maintaining SNAPSHOTS

[Eran Chinthaka]

Hi all, We have a slight problem with SNAPSHOT dependencies. Consider the two points. When other projects depend on SNAPSHOTs, that means they are working against the current working head of the project. So they do not worry abt the version of the SNAPSHOT jar they are using. With the current state, say policy was in 0.90-SNAPSHOT state. After the 0.9 release, policy-0.90-SNAPSHOT was not available (which is fine), and was named to policy-0.92-SNAPSHOT.jar. This cause problems to dependent projects. So due to above reasons, I feel putting the version number in to the SNAPSHOT jar is not a good idea at all. So I'd like propose not to put the version number with any of the commons projects jars. For example, the latest policy jar will be policy-SNAPSHOT.jar. What do you all think ? -- Chinthaka
