Yep, I think that's the only choice with maven 3: deployed jars get a timestamp while locally built jars don't. I queried this on the sonatype forum last year and their response was basically "get used to it". > uDig did try using the "stripVersions" instruction in the past; That option was dropped with maven 3. > I may make an ant script to rename the jars after they are fetched as a > workaround; do we have any indication of why this functionality was changed > in maven? And if this is just a bug with the copy dependences plugin? It's not a bug, it's a feature :) As I say, I queried the Sonatype folks about it. Their position, as far as I recall, seemed to be that time stamping helped prevent snapshots being incorrectly treated as releases. I didn't really understand where they were coming from and still don't.
