In Spring, the releaseType (qualifier) is always (BUILD-)SNAPSHOT unless it is a release (M1, M2, ..., RC1, ... RELEASE (GA)).
When a particular version ends, for instance when 1.0.0.RELASE goes GA, the version/releaseType switches to 1.1.0.(BUILD-)SNAPSHOT and a 1.0.x branch is created to "service" the old version (with subsequent releases being 1.0.1.RELEASE, 1.0.2.RELEASE, etc; the 1.0.x development branch will have then have subsequent versions of 1.0.3.(BUILD-)SNAPSHOT), but remain with a releaseType of (BUILD-)SNAPSHOT).
