name your version as 1.0-beta-5-SNAPSHOT, it means your are working toward 1.0-beta-5 release.
Once you are comfortable with your code base, you can the produce the real 1.0-beta5 using maven-release-plugin. -D On 9/18/06, Markus KARG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
We are new to Maven2 and are wondering how the naming schema is to be used correctly. In "BetterBuildsWithMaven.pdf" is told that our schema shall be "Major.Minor.Fix-Qualifier-Build", (e. g. 1.0.0-beta-1). So we like to have the qualifier set to "beta-5" now, since we are producing our fifth beta release. On the other hand, we like the SNAPSHOT automatism (publishing using timestamp as qualifier, downloading latest JAR once a day). But how to tell Maven2 to do that together? I mean, the SNAPSHOT features are only working, if the word SNAPSHOT is used, but actually we are using "beta". So what is the correct way to say "this is a beta release but it shall be published with timestamp qualifier" and how to say "this project depends on a snapshot but that other project is named beta but not SNAPSHOT"?
