>From a Maven standpoint there are two types of artifacts SNAPSHOTS and >RELEASES. Usualy they are split up into different Repositories and SNAPSHOTS are never synced to Maven Central. A Snapshot usually repesents the Maven-Equivalent to our nightly builds to make the development version available for tests to developers wanting to experiment with these libs without the haslte of having to build them. In contrast to release versions Maven checks if there is a newer version of a SNAPSHOT and updates these. So when working with snapshots it can be possible that on one day your project builds and on the next it doesn't, because things have changed.
So from Mavens point of view a snapshot is the opposite of a release :-) I would even suggest to setup the nightly builds to automatically deploy snapshots to Apaches snapshot repo. Seems that flexunit builds nicely. I would have to update the repo urls and provide the credentials on the jenkins server, but I think it would be a good Idea to have the SNAPSHOTS automatically deployed if the build runs through.
