Description:
SNAPSHOT dependencies should always be checked and the newest version downloaded. But since the AbstractArtifact checks the artifact name itself to determine if it's a SNAPSHOT, artifacts not following the <artifactId>-<version>.<type> standard (built outside Maven for example) are not considered SNAPSHOT even if you add the flag because the jar name doesn't contain the keyword.

I think it would make sense to change the behavior of the isArtifact method of AbstractArtifact to check th eversion of the dependency rather then its name. Thus, instead of:

return getDependency().getArtifact().indexOf( MavenConstants.SNAPSHOT_SIGNIFIER ) > 0;

You would have:

return getDependency().getVersion().indexOf( MavenConstants.SNAPSHOT_SIGNIFIER ) > 0;

This way, even if you had a jar someJar.jar, you could still get the latest version each build by adding the SNAPSHOT version tag as usual. And it wouldn't change the behavior for the artifacts created by Maven since the version would also be SNAPSHOT.
