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".

That option was dropped with maven 3.

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.
