Ideally you dont want to maintain this stuff and you want to get the changes in the official baseline as soon as possible. However if you are pressed for time and you are only releasing artifacts internally, with no plans to share with others on the internet, then another alternative is to build, and deploy, a local version of the snapshot. See http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Patching+Maven+Plugins for some rough notes. Since this solution only deploys locally (either to your own repository, or corporate repository) it is no good if you are sharing with others across the internet. The benefits are you can version control your changes until they get officially support, and avoids the use of -SNAPSHOTs which will stop you being able to release your artifacts. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
