Hehehe I knew Bernd would go crazy at that suggestion. :-) @Manfred: SNAPSHOT has a special connatation in Maven. So if you want to call it alpha or whatever, you can just do that. But SNAPSHOT tells Maven to keep checking for a newer version, etc.
I will see if I can find the codehaus mailing list and ask if they can't release it as alpha. SIGH ... another mailing list.
