I think we should keep as much history as possible, at least the dependencies for all maintained branches.
I would say, we never remove a jar. A SNAPSHOT jar should just be a simlink to a numbered jar (this is what maven does already).
Re the snapshots, doesn't that result in piles of useless crap? I mean, why keep the old numbered jars around? The build conditions for them are variable at best, and I can't think of situations where you'd need to go and use an old one. ?
It could. But the main argument to keep old numbered snapshot jars is so that you can build an old source release of of geronimo that might depend on a old numbered snapshot release.
How? do we ever list the snapshot number in project.xml?
I think for a release, yes.. we should take the effort and specify the snapshot number.

Perhaps we only push numbered snapshot jar into our maven repo when we do a release, and we continue to use the public repos during development to get the unnumbered snapshots.
Do you really ever refer to snapshots by number?
