Hi,
Just spot it today and thought I'd share it here for further
consideration.
Every time Geronimo is released we're bothered with releasing OpenEJB
3.0 so no SNAPSHOT is to be included in a milestone release. I came
across the uniqueVersion element of snapshotRepository [1] that could
make the process nicer. If we used uniqueVersion instead of SNAPSHOT
while deploying openejb to the remote repository Geronimo could rely
on them rather than SNAPSHOTs that seem unreliable and error-prone.
It's a trade-off - a mini-release - between SNAPSHOTs and full-blown
releases. If we think Geronimo should use a higher version after it's
been published to a remote repository, Geronimo would be upgraded,
else it'd hold the earlier semi-SNAPSHOT.
WDYT?

That's enabled by default. I think Geronimo just prefers the
SNAPSHOT version.
