Hi List,

According to the documentation, when specifying a version as -SNAPSHOT,
Maven downloads the artifact on each build.

I specify:

 <parent>
    <groupId>config</groupId>
    <artifactId>seta-general-configuration</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
 </parent>

and expected Maven to download the parent pom again from the repository,
however, this doesn't seem to be the case.
Is this a bug, or is it not supported?

I manage the parent pom, which is used in many different projects. The
problem is that I am not the developer of all those projects, so if I would
change something in the parent pom, then I have no control over whether
people are updating the parant pom version in order to fetch te latest
version. It would be much easier if I could leave it as SNAPSHOT, and have
Maven download it each time a build is executed.

I'm using Maven 2.1.0.

Thanks.
