Maven takes the version as whatever-formatted string, but recognizes a conventional (.endsWith "1.0.0-SNAPSHOT" "-SNAPSHOT"), like described by Laurent PETIT. So "whatever-SNAPSHOT" means we're going someday to release version "whatever", and this is our most recent snapshot of its edge development. But that's not all that has been mentioned in this thread re: maven conventions. A release is uniquely identified by a few attributes: groupId:artifactId:packaging:classifier:version The classifier part has alson been mentioned. From maven's doc: --- "The classifier allows to distinguish artifacts that were built from the same POM but differ in their content. It is some optional and arbitrary string that - if present - is appended to the artifact name just after the version number. As a motivation for this element, consider for example a project that offers an artifact targeting JRE 1.5 but at the same time also an artifact that still supports JRE 1.4. The first artifact could be equipped with the classifier jdk15 and the second one with jdk14 such that clients can choose which one to use. Another common use case for classifiers is the need to attach secondary artifacts to the project's main artifact. If you browse the Maven central repository, you will notice that the classifiers sources and javadoc are used to deploy the project source code and API docs along with the packaged class files." --- Lots of java libraries are distributed thusly: (1) org.clojure:clojure:jar:1.0.0 (no classifier) (2) org.clojure:clojure:jar:javadoc:1.0.0 (3) org.clojure:clojure:jar:sources:1.0.0 So 1 is bytecode release; 2 is only javadoc; 3 is full sources w/o bytecode. Of course, javadoc is also included in the "sources" release (3).
