SNAPSHOTS are a very similar concept. You work toward a 2.0.1 release, so your development builds have a version of 2.0.1-SNAPSHOT as you work toward a final release.
The concept of "release" typcically means more than just a CI build. A released artifact on a repo generally never gets deleted but a developer CI build you typically do want to purge at some point. SNAPSHOTs work with this in mind. --- Todd Thiessen > -----Original Message----- > From: James Russo [mailto:j...@halo3.net] > Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2009 4:32 PM > To: Maven Users List > Subject: Re: question re: CI builds and maven. > > Thanks, I guess it really could work either way. > > I've normally used to having some type of automated build > which eventually gets released as you move it forward (ie: > v2.0.1.xyz, the xyz build of 2.0.1 is what ships), but what > you are saying is just get things tested/integrated/refined > by way of the snapshot artifacts from CI and then perform the > release what that is all good. > > I still need to read-up on the standard way of doing maven releases. > Haven't gotten that far yet.. > > -jr > > > Todd Thiessen wrote: > > CI I believe would use SNAPSHOTS.
