I will take a look at what exactly can be done when I found 2 (ok, 20) minutes.
Basically there do not seem to have direct support for multiple snapshot as the artifact plugin seem to simply add the snapshot tag at the end. But you may probably emulate it by including version number in the artifactId, wich fake 2 different artifact that can have different snapshot. I did not test it, and I'm a user so, use it at your own risk. Maven have flexibility for a lot of versioning scheme as the final name is a concatenation of artifactId and version, this flexibility can be great or bad. > -----Original Message----- > From: Martin Lambert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 3:54 AM > To: Maven Users List > Subject: RE: Download of SNAPSHOT-Plugins > > > Hi, > > I found peoples thoughts on this subject very useful. > > I am trying to think about the further implications of > multiple snapshot versions.
