Hi Joern, Glad I helped solve that problem.
I am under the impression though that 'SNAPSHOT' in Maven is the latest development version. Fixed version numbers I believe are meant to represent stable versions of code. You appear to be muddying the waters with your versioning numbering system. Cheers, Martin. -----Original Message----- From: Jörn Gebhardt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 March 2004 11:52 To: Maven Users List Subject: AW: Download of SNAPSHOT-Plugins Hi Martin, '1.2-SNAPSHOT' means that it is the version 1.2 of the plugin that is still in development and changes until version 1.2 is released. And I wanted to use maven plugin:download -DartifactId=my-plugin -DgroupId=my-plugins -Dversion=1.2-SNAPSHOT to download the latest version of the nightly build of that maven plugin. But anyway, you helped me out with another problem I had with the versioning of Maven plugins that are used to build an artifact. Until now I had a proplem with building older versions of our project (e.g. for bug-fixing branches). The source-code, project.xml etc. was revisioned in CVS, however the versions of the plugins that were used to build the project are mentioned nowhere. I.e. if you install a newer version of a plugin on your computer it might screw up the original build. However, if you explicitely write down in the project.xml the dependencies to the plugins you are using, you can reproduce your revisioned project.
