the comment explains it: "update dependencies to next development snapshot 
until releases are available on maven central"

the plugin was released together with commons.json and commons.testing - and to 
avoid failing builds during the voting phase we have to update to next snapshot 
until the release is available. this is our standard procedure in in this case.

i forget to set it back after the release was published - did it now in rev.

>Hi,
>I intend to release maven-sling-plugin 2.1.8
>(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING/fixforversion/12334142).
>Unfortunately currently the POM contains a dependency towards a SNAPSHOT
>version of org.apache.sling.commons.json.
>The according commit, which changed that version is
>http://svn.apache.org/r1713420 from Stefan Seifert.

>I fail to understand why it was upgraded and there was also no JIRA issue
>number referenced in the commit.
>As far as I can see the not yet released version of o.a.s.commons.json
>2.0.18 does not contain any fixed issues:
>https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING/fixforversion/12334141.
>What was the reason why the snapshot dependency towards the newest
>o.a.s.commons.json was introduced?
