 In short, it builds a JAR with a timestamped version (like
 struts-core-20051106.203359.jar) and then makes a copy of it with the

 a nightly build, we use the timestamped version, not the SNAPSHOT, so
 that there is no inconsistency.

(The artifact plugin was finally convinced to cooperate.)  Before I
deleted them, http://cvs.apache.org/repository/tiles/jars/ had:

tiles-core-0.2-20051203.055551.jar      02-Dec-2005 21:56   82K
tiles-core-0.2-20051203.060733.jar      02-Dec-2005 22:07   82K
tiles-core-0.2-SNAPSHOT.jar             02-Dec-2005 22:07   82K
tiles-core-SNAPSHOT.jar                 30-Aug-2005 21:27  106K
(plus all the signatures and metadata)

A Joe explained, you can declare a dependency on a particular snapshot
and not have to worry about Maven retrieving the latest version.

do we want to remove tiles-core-SNAPSHOT.jar ? I'm afraid there might be confusion; from the listing details, it's clearly not the same as the other files (is that 24K the result of Greg's aggressive pruning? Nice work! ;-) )

I think we should disclaim any responsibility for maintaining specific JARs in the cvs.apache.org repository; if people are depending on SNAPSHOTS, they should be prepared for things possibly being removed. Is that fair?
