It would help to use the svn revision on the jar, but we should really make it clear that it's something the geronimo project created for it's use, rather than confuse people that it might be an artifact from ActiveMQ. The word 'SNAPSHOT' would help.
SNAPSHOT has a specific meaning to Maven - it will cause it to check the remote repo for a newer version (by timestamp) even if a copy exists in the local repo.
This is good for daily builds, a nightmare for anything where consistency is required.
So when we decide to do a milestone (or release) we need to ensure there are no dependencies on versions with SNAPSHOT in them and instead use ones that contain a SVN revision number or a CVS timestamp:
bad: foo-bar-1.3-SNAPSHOT.jar ok: foo-bar-1.3-20050401.jar better: foo-bar-1.3-158653.jar
Going back to the original issue of an external project not wishing to do a release, we want to make it clear that this is something that we threw together ad hoc, and not something published by the external project.
And I'm still not comfortable doing something like that in a real geronimo release.
