In this case it is good practice to use the timestamp of the manifest file inside the jar for the versioning: xyz-YYYYMMDD.HHMMSS.jar So it is like a fixed SNAPSHOT and you don't have to fear a version clash once the author provides a proper manifste (one with a specification/impl version). - Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
