Well ... I don't want a dependency on a timestamp, that's the whole point. Let 
me explain.

If have a module named ABC which is used by other modules. We currently support 
version 1.1.x and version 2.0.x of the module, located in two different CVS 
branches. Teams are currently working on the 1.1.5 and 2.0.7 releases which are 
also used by other teams.

If I do jar:inststall-snapshot of ABC, I have the following :

- ABC-SNAPSHOT.jar -> Doh, is it a snapshot of 1.1.x or 2.0.x ???
- ABC-2004-02-05... -> fine but I don't want to change my dependency every time 
the team deploys a new snapshot, I want to retrieve it automaticaly (that is 
what this SNAPSHOT thing is all about, right?)

So here's why having 1.1.5-SNAPSHOT and 2.0.7-SNAPSHOT is a good thing (BTW, 
this problem prevents us currently to use the install-snapshot functionnalty so 
+1 for the feature request).

As a workaround, we set the version to 1.1.5-SNAPSHOT and 2.0.7-SNAPSHOT 
respectively and we use the jar:install goal.

Cheers,

St�phane
