I think I've seen some projects, although I don't recall where, that use .SNAPSHOT because then you get legal osgi bundle versions in require-bundle instructions in the maven-bundle-plugin. Presumably this could be fixed in the maven-bundle-plugin since it already converts -SNAPSHOT to .SNAPSHOT when generating the bundle's own osgi version.
