I suspect the question you are asking is: Is there any way to know what the timestamp is that has been used in place of the -SNAPSHOT?
i.e. you need to know if this is "1.0-20081002.110956" The answer is that this value is only determined at the time that the artifact is deployed... at which point it is too late to modify the artifact so that it contains the -SNAPSHOT value... plus that would have a side effect of modifying the artifact that goes into your remote repository and you would then have different artifacts in your local and remote repository. (which is a very bad thing) Otherwise, if you are happy to know that the version is "1.0-SNAPSHOT" and not "0.9-SNAPSHOT" or "1.0" then resource filtering is probably the way to go... or better yet add the version to either the specification-version or implementation-version attibutes in the manifest of your jar that way you can pull the version of the class by something like: foo.getClass().getPackage().getManifest???().getImplementationVersion???() 2008/10/2 Magne Nordtveit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On Wednesday 24 September 2008 18:42:27 mateamargo wrote: >> I have setted the version to 1.0-SNAPSHOT, but I need to know what's the >> current value.
