> > Here's how I deal with instances where I need a snapshot plugin in my 
> > corp build:
> > 1. Checkout the code for the snapshot.
> > 2. Build it, changing the version to something like 
> > 2.0-[companyname]-svnrev 3. If I have to patch the source at all, I 
> > take the whole thing and put it in my svn. If not, then the svnrev in 
> > the release points me back to where I got it in case I need it later.
> > 4. Deploy it to my repos.
> > 5. Use this now "internally released" version in my builds.
> >
> I've done this, and also with smaller external snapshots I've downloaded them and just adjusted the metadata (and filename) before deploying to my local repos.
> What would be really, really, really useful would be a plugin that you could call that would download a snapshot of a project and its (transient,
> snapshot) dependencies, re-label it as a fixed internal version. There's occasions where you just can't wait for an external project to release (and of course this problem is recursive!), and rebuilding everything yourself is a bit drag on the person doing a release.
> something like
> mvn artifact:freeze-snapshot org.apache.myfaces myfaces-all 1.1.6-SNAPSHOT 1.1.6-mycorp
