Release plugin and library snapshots

[Steve Shucker <ss...@vmsinfo.com>]

I'm interested in using the release plugin to handling pom versioning 
and scm tagging.  However, I can't figure out how to deal with snapshot 
libraries.  We've got several projects that depend on common libraries 
and use continuum to keep current snapshots of the libraries available.  
Because different applications use the same libraries, I don't think 
modules are the solution to our problem.

What I'd like to do is put a version range of "(1.0,)" on the library 
dependencies so builds always use the latest version.  For regular 
development, that works fine.  However, for releases I'd need the 
version string to be "(1.0-RELEASE,)" so it pulls the latest release 
version.  We've already got a plugin that will allow us to force a build 
(presumably with a release target) of a library in continuum and have 
that trigger the various application builds on completion,  Has anyone 
else come across any solutions to force snapshot dependencies to use 
release versions when running the release plugin?
