The good thing about having a version on the pom is that you can have multiple SNAPSHOTs available in a maven repo (e.g 1.2-SNAPSHOT, 1.2.1-SNAPSHOT, TRUNK x-SNAPSHOT and TRUNK y-SNAPSHOT), this also allows for multiple active development streams.
If you have SNAPSHOT only, I guess you are restricted to only latest SNAPSHOT, and I also don't see how you would be able to have multiple active development streams in this case. As for what's our next release, I think this is decided when we cut a branch and our SNAPSHOT pom version should not be dictating it. I guess having 2.0-SNAPSHOT would just allow us to have multiple releases without having to change trunk pom multiple times, and only changing the branch when we know what would be the version of the release, otherwise, we would have to bum trunk version on every release. Thoughts ?
