Sorry that I just picked an example that is reasonably managed by people (in this case you specifically) on the project. In this case it was pretty hard to solve it another way (the static final doesn't really help) anyhow..
The fix will only work if you public http access, since most companies that setup a maven proxy probably don't sync with the snapshot repo of codehaus (not a problem for me in this case though, but at a couple of customers I don't have that luxury). (this is not the first time that SNAPSHOT's are used, it's just that I noticed now one being added, that I thought it was a good time to bring the subject up). Can you agree on the general sentiment even though the example taken was a bad one ? (I had several problems in the past because of changing SNAPSHOT in continuum, hence the mails..)
