maven snapshot-version file

Hello.

Just wanted to clarify some things on snapshot versioning.

It looks like deploying a snapshot results in three files being created and
deployed:

   1. the actual artifact snapshot. e.g.:  myproject-20031030-120000.jar
   2. an artifact link.  
       e.g.: myproject-SNAPSHOT.jar --> myproject-20031030-120000.jar
   3. a snapshot-version file which contains the current version number
       e.g.: myproject-snapshot-version

Is this correct?

So when maven goes to download a snapshot, does it use the snapshot-version file
or just the link?

It simply tries to download myproject-SNAPSHOT.jar.

You can specify a timestamped version in your POM if you wish. The
snapshot-version file is used by tools like the release plugin to
convert snapshots to timestamped versions during a release.
