Hello all,

I have a very fundamental question about how Maven determine wheter the 
local repository have the latest jar file from the remote repository.

My scenario is that a nightly build puts the same xxx-1.0.jar into the 
remote repository every night. The version number dosent change (that 
would require the developers to specify a new dependency version every 
day) - only the date and maybe other attributes as well.

Does Maven check these attributes to verify whether the newest archive 
exist in the local repository despite of the fact that both local and 
remote repository versions share the same name.

I know that you can specify a dependency to be "SNAPSHOT" but I am not 
sure how this relates to this issue??

Regards

Jesper Linvald
