We use SNAPSHOT only typically for parent POMs with a greater scope (e.g. company-wide) that are shared between multiple components/projects. It is simply not feasible if one project requires a release that all other projects and components suddenly have to adjust their POMs. It is an explicitly required behavior that the other ones use always the latest SNAPSHOT parent if they already use a SNAPSHOT version as parent. Otherwise the new SNAPSHOT parent is silently ignored and the other components build against a stale old SNAPSHOT version of that parent maybe for a long time. - Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
