I'm not a maven expert but I think that we need:
- an identification of a particular SNAPSHOT level, xyz-SNAPSHOT
won't work, we need xyz-<level>-SNAPSHOT.
- a way to associate a level with a particular SVN revision,
xyz-r493223-SNAPSHOT is the most obvious to me.
- a way to move levels without scrambling artifact ids, I imagine
that the maven version attribute can be used for that.
Thoughts?

What part of what I said are you disagreeing with? the requirements I
was trying to spell out? or the use of revision names in the JAR names?
Raymond was asking to use artifact ids and you didn't -1 that, is
this what you think should be done?
Earlier in this thread (which you just cut out), you said "published
snapshots have a timestamp in the version so it is possible to refer
to an older one if something in the latest causes problems". This
will work as well for me, if there is a good way to associate a
timestamped snapshot with a specific SVN revision (to know what exact
level code we're running with).
Can one of our maven experts help us understand how to get this
timestamp in? is this done with <uniqueVersion>true</uniqueVersion>
in your repository definition?
How do we reference a specific timestamped version?

Chill out man - you asked for thoughts and you got mine. Including a
SVN revision number in a SNAPSHOT reference just isn't how Maven
works. The very point of SNAPSHOTs is that they update over time so
that people get the latest version of a project under development.
That by definition makes them unstable and unsuitable for trying to
assemble something known to be working - if you want that, use a release.

I'm perfectly cool. Thanks for your thoughts, I'm just trying to
understand what you're saying and how this modular build scheme is going
to work, and I'm still looking for answers to some of my questions :)
- Are we going to update snapshot Jars over time? or use a
<uniqueVersion>true</uniqueVersion> repository config to publish unique
timestamped versions (which, if I understand correctly will not update
over time)? or do we only want to use releases of pieces of Tuscany to
build working assemblies?
- If we're going to use timestamped snapshots, does anybody know how to
reference a specific timestamp (I couldn't figure this out from the
Maven docs).
- How do people in the group want to associate a specific SVN revision
with a published snapshot? Jeremy, do you know the recommended Maven way
to do that?
Thanks,
