In the Maven User Guide
http://maven.apache.org/reference/user-guide.html#Overriding_Stated_Dependen
cies
it is stated that you can do
maven.jar.artifactId = [version]
eg.
maven.jar.classworlds = 1.0-beta-1
So that's the reason I tried to use SNAPSHOT as a version.
Besides when I specify any version number other than SNAPSHOT,
the JAR override works perfectly.
Please explain to me why you consider using different version
numbers a very bad idea.

Hi,
You must specify the full name of the file
maven.jar.mylibrary=path_to_file/mylibrary-SNAPSHOT.jar
This is designed to use different file names, what you're doing using
different versions is a *very bad* idea.
