Hi Louis, Do you mean in the remote repository?
If you're using Maven 3.x, I believe non-unique snapshot deployments (-SNAPSHOT instead of timestamps) are no longer possible. See https://cwiki.apache.org/MAVEN/maven-3x-compatibility-notes.html#Maven3.xCompatibilityNotes-NonuniqueSnapshotDeployments As for referencing specific timestamped versions.. When your dependency is set to an "unlocked" snapshot version (e.g. 1.0.2-SNAPSHOT), Maven would always get the latest one deployed in the remote repository. If you wish to use a specific timestamp, you can "lock" the snapshot version by using the timestamp version of the dependency in your pom (e.g. 1.0.2-20120519.090019-1) HTH, Deng On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 2:01 AM, Louis Smith <dr.louis.sm...@gmail.com>wrote: > I noticed that when I am working on a jar file, and I re-run "clean > compile package install" of a -SNAPSHOT of a project while developing and > testing, that the "install" directory is NOT clean.. it has "time-stamped" > files in it, and my other builds can't reference it. > > What I see is: > > > Parent Directory< > http://www.neoarcane.com/maven/repository/com/neoarcane/components/components-pom/ > > > - [image: [ ]]components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-1.pom< > http://www.neoarcane.com/maven/repository/com/neoarcane/components/components-pom/1.0.2-SNAPSHOT/components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-1.pom > >20-May-2012 > 16:3315K [image: [ > ]]components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-1.pom.md5< > http://www.neoarcane.com/maven/repository/com/neoarcane/components/components-pom/1.0.2-SNAPSHOT/components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-1.pom.md5 > >20-May-2012 > 16:3332 [image: [ > ]]components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-1.pom.sha1< > http://www.neoarcane.com/maven/repository/com/neoarcane/components/components-pom/1.0.2-SNAPSHOT/components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-1.pom.sha1 > >20-May-2012 > 16:3340 [image: [ > ]]components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-2.pom< > http://www.neoarcane.com/maven/repository/com/neoarcane/components/components-pom/1.0.2-SNAPSHOT/components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-2.pom > >20-May-2012 > 18:1315K [image: [ > ]]components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-2.pom.md5< > http://www.neoarcane.com/maven/repository/com/neoarcane/components/components-pom/1.0.2-SNAPSHOT/components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-2.pom.md5 > >20-May-2012 > 18:1332 [image: [ > ]]components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-2.pom.sha1< > http://www.neoarcane.com/maven/repository/com/neoarcane/components/components-pom/1.0.2-SNAPSHOT/components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-2.pom.sha1 > >20-May-2012 > 18:1340 [image: [ > ]]components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-3.pom< > http://www.neoarcane.com/maven/repository/com/neoarcane/components/components-pom/1.0.2-SNAPSHOT/components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-3.pom > >20-May-2012 > 18:1415K [image: [ > ]]components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-3.pom.md5< > http://www.neoarcane.com/maven/repository/com/neoarcane/components/components-pom/1.0.2-SNAPSHOT/components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-3.pom.md5 > >20-May-2012 > 18:1432 [image: [ > ]]components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-3.pom.sha1< > http://www.neoarcane.com/maven/repository/com/neoarcane/components/components-pom/1.0.2-SNAPSHOT/components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-3.pom.sha1 > >20-May-2012 > 18:1440 [image: [ > ]]components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-4.pom< > http://www.neoarcane.com/maven/repository/com/neoarcane/components/components-pom/1.0.2-SNAPSHOT/components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-4.pom > >21-May-2012 > 05:0015K [image: [ > ]]components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-4.pom.md5< > http://www.neoarcane.com/maven/repository/com/neoarcane/components/components-pom/1.0.2-SNAPSHOT/components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-4.pom.md5 > >21-May-2012 > 05:0032 [image: [ > ]]components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-4.pom.sha1< > http://www.neoarcane.com/maven/repository/com/neoarcane/components/components-pom/1.0.2-SNAPSHOT/components-pom-1.0.2-20120519.090019-4.pom.sha1 > >21-May-2012 > 05:0040 [image: [ > ]]maven-metadata.xml< > http://www.neoarcane.com/maven/repository/com/neoarcane/components/components-pom/1.0.2-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml > >21-May-2012 > 05:00374 [image: [ > ]]maven-metadata.xml.md5< > http://www.neoarcane.com/maven/repository/com/neoarcane/components/components-pom/1.0.2-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml.md5 > >21-May-2012 > 05:0032 [image: [ > ]]maven-metadata.xml.sha1< > http://www.neoarcane.com/maven/repository/com/neoarcane/components/components-pom/1.0.2-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml.sha1 > >21-May-2012 > 05:0040 > > any ideas on how I clean this up so I can test with my -SNAPSHOT and don't > have to release on every code change? > > Louis > > -- > Dr. Louis Smith, ThD > Chief Technology Officer, Kyra InfoTech > Engineer-in-Training, Veteran's Memorial Railroad >
