Brett Porter commented on MRM-406:
----------------------------------

I tried steps 1 - 5 and I got the correct archiva-database (I did a diff to 
confirm).

The install process does not change the SNAPSHOT in the POM into a TIMESTAMP. 
Only the deploy process does, and then only remotely. You'll only get that 
locally when it is downloaded from the server again.

I believe you've seen it with redback because you regularly deployed and used 
those depoyed snapshots. I didn't dispute that would be a problem. It's 
something that should be fixed in Maven.

I believe the release plugin has work under way to dereference the expressions 
so that it can fix the properties that hold versions too (though this is a 
hairy issue and not one that should be considered a best practice).

I just believe that given all these circumstances, using ${project.version} was 
the least harmful. The redback release process got bitten by the fact that it 
wasn't updated more than once.

But I'm also not the one releasing it, so as long as it's documented either 
way, I don't care what it's set to.
