IMO there is value in having verion-SNAPHOT when we're developing on a
branch as e.g. the Sandesha2 1.1 branch was made dependant on the
Axis2 1.1-SNAPSHOT so it didn't decome dependant on the trunk.

I'm ambivant about using a version number on the trunk. It's easy
enough to solve when we next branch (just bump the number on the
trunk) but it's probably clearer to users that we don't endorse the
SNAPSHOTs if there isn't an associated version number.

Hi Jochen and all,

SNAPSHOT is a SNAPSHOT and it has no version in it, IMO. What do you
gain by putting a number with a SNAPSHOT. Snapshots are mostly unstable
versions of a project and we don't wanna know after which version it was
created.

Let me ask this  question also, who will use a SNAPSHOT of a project,
say a snapshot of Axis2? I think projects like Sandesha will use it.
They will depend on trunk and not on any of the branches. Maintaining
branch versions is an internal version, IMO.

So I always prefer to have snapshot without a version number in it.

So +1 for just snapshot.

My 2 cents.
