Looking at our snapshots we have:

 - javaee-api  6.0-3-SNAPSHOT
 - cxf  2.5.1-SNAPSHOT
 - owb  1.1.4-SNAPSHOT
 - bval  0.4-incubating-SNAPSHOT
 - karaf-maven-plugin 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT
 - openejb-openwebbeans-jsf  1.1.2-SNAPSHOT
 - org.apache.karaf.tooling.exam.container  3.0.0-SNAPSHOT
 - openjpa-maven-plugin  2.2.0-SNAPSHOT
 - openejb-jstl 1.3-SNAPSHOT

Some of these will be easy to deal with, but these seem a bit trickier:

 - karaf-maven-plugin 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT
 - org.apache.karaf.tooling.exam.container  3.0.0-SNAPSHOT
 - openjpa-maven-plugin  2.2.0-SNAPSHOT

From a compliance perpective it looks like we're good with the following 
previous versions:

 - cxf  2.5.0
 - owb  1.1.3
 - bval  0.3-incubating (our patched version)

We could easily release again in two weeks or so when these things are all 
released.  We keep saying we want to release more frequently but we haven't yet 
done it.  Releasing again when these binaries are out might be a good way to 
get into that habit.

Holding our release isn't that appealing and neither is using non-reproducable 
timestamped versions.  Neither are really good habits.


Thoughts?
