What you did not fix however, in your pom it which snapshot to use, so maven choose to download the latest snapshot. SNAPSHOT is a good term for an automated daily build. LATEST-DEV would be more, to me, like asking maven to connect to version control an do a build from it.
Example of using a fixed snapshot: <version>1.0-beta-3-20080505.072643-6</version> This will fix dependency to that explicit snapshot made on 05/05/2008 of 1.0-beta3 while <version>1.0-beta3-SNAPSHOT</version> will point always to latest snapshot of 1.0-beta3 -- David Delbecq ICT Institut Royal Météorologique Ext:557 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
