Once you have a tested stable version you do the release, and put it in a tag. You can then continue with the next snapshot.
The Maven release plugin does edit the POMS, but I've yet to give it a go. The documentation would benefit from detailing the exact steps that occur. John -----Original Message----- From: EJ Ciramella [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 August 2007 15:16 To: Maven Users List Subject: When to use -SNAPSHOT when to use a build number Just wondering, when should you convert from a -SNAPSHOT version to a fully fledge build number? When you convert to a build number, how does your build system update it internally? Does it edit/submit the pom(s)?
