Oh, so this whole thing is a Nexus problem? Is that why none of my maven-metadata.xml files in my SNAPSHOT directories in my Nexus repository feature a <latest> tag (mind you, I'm guessing in the dark here about what this tag is for, and also guessing that it is used in resolving SNAPSHOTs)? Am I wrong in thinking that these files *should* feature such a tag if they are to be useful at all? Where would I go to learn more information about this? It certainly seems to be the case from others I've talked to that the "solution" is "redeploy another SNAPSHOT; that's the only way to get rid of this, and we don't know why it happens either". Surely that can't be the case. Surely there's some way to convince Maven to figure out what the latest SNAPSHOT is in a directory? Or to otherwise help it correct its mistaken belief that there are *no* *possible* snapshot resolutions? Is this a rare problem? Thanks for the input, David.
