Hi all,

I wanna know the standard and the reasons behind it.

I want to find out if I should specify a version for a maven plugins, lets say 
maven-javadoc-plugin, or not to specify it and in which case the default one 
will be used. At this point, I don't specify versions

I recently setup Nexus at my work and started seeing all these errors where 
Nexus wouldn't find snapshot version for plugins, maven-javadoc-plugin being 
one of them. The maven-javadoc-plugin is at 2.6.2-SNAPSHOT right now, but my 
settings.xml is not setup to take care of this scenario.

It seems that I've to do what example 14.2 at this link: 
http://svn.sonatype.org/m2eclipse/trunk/org.maven.ide.eclipse.book/book/ch14s03.html
 says

And in which case I've to use -Ppublic-snapshots flag during my packaging. 

Now what is the general standard in a case like this? I can easily do what the 
link above suggests or just specify a version. I've reservations with both of 
them and see advantages for both of them as well.

What do the gurus suggest? :)

Thanks
