Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-3676:
----------------------------------------
Frederick,
The issue is not that we can't get hold of a CLI snapshot (we have one checked
in), but that apache rules say "don't release snapshort artifacts as they
haven't been through the full legally backed release process". to put it
differently: SNAPSHOTS are nightly builds, not releases, don't depend on them.
That holds for the SNAPSHOT repository, which is an interesting area, and not
anything that anyone who wants a replicable build should be including in their
dependency graph, as it becomes impossible to build a previous version of your
application if that artifact changes.

> Currently, the Hadoop release includes a jar of the Apache commons-cli from a
> snapshot of 2.0. Hadoop isn't getting a major benefit from the 2.0 api, which
> in fact is pretty buggy, and we should just roll back to the cli 1.1 release.
