Valerio, A snapshot is a development version. e.g, 2.0-SNAPSHOT is the still-in-development future 2.0. If you want to use a snapshot, juste use <version> , e.g. <version> 2.0-SNAPSHOT</version> . But first you must ensure that you have access to the repository containing this version. For example, for Maven snapshots as stated below, you could use :
~ <repositories> ~ <repository> ~ <id>maven-snapshots</id> ~ <url>http://snapshots.maven.codehaus.org/</url> ~ </repository> ~ </repositories> or, for plugins : ~ <pluginRepositories> ~ <pluginRepository> ~ <id>maven-snapshots</id> ~ <url>http://snapshots.maven.codehaus.org/</url> ~ </pluginRepository> ~ </pluginRepositories> http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/index.html#How%20do%20I%20make%20my%20first%20Maven%20project ? http://maven.apache.org/maven-model/maven.html#class_repository -- Yann 2006/1/8, Valerio Schiavoni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > i'm quite new to maven, but i'm wondering what a "snapshot" actually is. > > and, what should I do to use these snapshots (which sounds like 'straight > from the developers' ) versions? > > thanks, > valerio > > 2006/1/8, Yann Le Du <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > Hi Gilles, > > > > You can find SNAPSHOT versions here : > > http://snapshots.maven.codehaus.org/maven2/org/apache/maven/plugins/ > > > > -- > > Yann > > > > 2006/1/4, Scokart Gilles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > > > > > > > > > I would like to test some development version of some plugins, but it > > > appears that some SNAPSHOT versions are not deployed.
