Hi, the ASF master-pom does contain a _regular_ snapshot repo (linked to the (new) nexus repo), see: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/pom/trunk/asf/pom.xml
*snip* <repository> <id>apache.snapshots</id> <name>Apache Snapshot Repository</name> <url>http://repository.apache.org/snapshots</url> <releases> <enabled>false</enabled> </releases> </repository> *snip* However, it doesn't define the "apache.snapshot" for plugins. Nor does the myfaces pom. Does one know why? In Trinidad we currently have this setting: <pluginRepositories> <pluginRepository> <id>apache.snapshots</id> <name>Apache Snapshot Repository</name> <url>http://repository.apache.org/snapshots</url> <releases> <enabled>false</enabled> </releases> </pluginRepository> </pluginRepositories> IMO it could be centralized: In myfaces-pom or in the ASF pom.
