The SNAPSHOT and beta references in the artifact-alias entries are to handle upgrades from previous versions of the plugins. The next release of the plugins, will only contain entries to upgrade from this level (2.1.3 or 2.2) of the plugins.
The jpa-tests are not being built and published as artifacts, as they generate maven-release-plugin failures that I couldn't resolve. Those are copies of the tests from the 2.1.x server, but upgraded to run against openjpa2, which isn't required once you install the plugins in a real server. -Donald On 4/28/10 9:28 AM, Joe Bohn wrote: > I see a lot of SNAPSHOT references in the poms.
