No, but you should look at the maven release plugin for handling the change from 2.n-SNAPSHOT in (trunk) to 2.n (in tags) to 2.n+1-SNAPSHOT (back in trunk). It should handle all of the SNAPSHOT dependencies automatically rather than doing this by hand. As it stands now, are you planning to change all the versions to 2.3.1-incubating-SNAPSHOT after the release of 2.3.1-incubating? In general, I agree with Jukka, that if I have a dependency that isn't labeled SNAPSHOT, I trust this version not to change. Since we do sometimes build UIMA trunk internally, this won't be the case if SNAPSHOT is abandoned forever.

Ok, by all means. Still, since the version number needs to be updated in a gazillion places, and I've already made a start, anybody object to me changing the version number to 2.3.0-incubating (no snapshot) now, so we can catch all the places that I'm sure to have missed until we finally release? --Thilo > > BR, > > Jukka Zitting
