Dan, is there any reason for this? This should be used only for
modules that depend on Isis and might want to run/build a snapshot
version without building all the dependent code first.
We get this by way of inheriting from org.apache:apache-parent:7,
which was Mark's recommendation. Doing so will fit in with other
projects that Mark is involved with, so there's good precedent here,
and there's a good write-up on the release process that this parent
defines for us, which I've referenced from our wiki [1].
This makes sense, so if we used a logging snaphot then it would be
automatically loaded.
But I'm not sure why there's a problem with having this defined. We
need a snapshot repo, don't we? And this is the official one to use.
When my code is building I'll have a look why (if) our snapshot are
being sought.
