Recent snapshot repository purge introduced issues for those of us that depend on a specific timestamp SNAPSHOT. This is supposed to be a valid usecase as supported by the release and enforcer plugins.
There is no way to rebuild such jars, as we can get the sources from SCM according to date, but cannot build and deploy the jar with the expected name (manual renaming is required). Could we consider for future the option to use the SCM revision ( for SCM that support this option, but most of us use SVN ;-) ) in replacement to a timestamp, so that a specific timestamp can easily be rebuilded at anytime ? The version format could be "X.Y.Z-revision-ABCDE". Nicolas.
