But then I question doesn't it do the right thing anyway if the version is correctly specified as the dependency? If your project is XYZ-SNAPSHOT, and you depend on JAR-1.2.3, it should ignore what's in the project and use the absolute versioned one from the repo. Because in the end, maven just copies everything to the repo anyway, I didn't think it did any actual short circuiting. Rather it simply copied to the repo then immediately pulls it back out. But I'm not positive.
