Thanks to Jason's help the geronimo plugins in 1.2-SNAPSHOT are published in the maven snapshot repository. However, the plugin installer gbean can't install them because filenames for published snapshot artifacts can use a special naming convention. Normally the artifact's filename takes the form: <artifactId>-<majorversion>.<minorversion>-SNAPSHOT.<type> But for snapshot artifacts it can take the form: <artifactId>-<majorversion>.<minorversion>-<timestamp>-<buildNumber>.<type> The timestamp and buildNumber come from a file called maven-metadata.xml in the artifact's download directory.
I created GERONIMO-2521 to update PluginInstallerGbean so it can download snapshot artifacts that use the naming convention described above. There's a patch attached to that JIRA if anyone wants to provide feedback before I commit the change. thanks, Paul
