It's my understanding that timestamp snapshots should only exist in remote snapshot repositories and are created when doing a mvn deploy.
What I see though is timestamp snapshots downloaded into my local repository when doing mvn install. Here the test case: artifact a (jar) depends on artifact b (jar) both are snapshots and they both inherit from maven's default super pom (i.e. no company's super pom is used). also they have different groupId. I first deploy artifact a, then pretending to be a different developer I delete artifact from my local repository and install artifact b, I now see artifact a timestamp snapshot (a-1.0.0-20110302.155002-4.jar) downloaded in my local repository. If a deploy several times artifact a and each time install artifact b, I end up with several timestamp snapshots in my local repository (a-1.0.0-20110302.155504-8.jar, a-1.0.0-20110302.155739-11.jar, a-1.0.0-20110302.160157-17.jar). Also to be noted the jumps in the version of the timestamp (4, 8, 11, 17), although the remote snapshot repository contains all the versions from 4 up to 17. Is this the intended behavior in mvn 3, a bug or something I missed?
