This is as opposed to a snapshot, which has no well defined origin. You might approach this two ways, you might create "nightly snapshots" and have them deployed somewhere suitable, using "mvn deploy". Alternatively if you want to create proper "nightly releases" (in the maven sense), you could feed a custom version number into the release plugin to represent your release, but this starts to smell like "that's what a snapshot is for".
