Using Snapshots.

["Roy, Anthony" <An...@bl.uk>]

Hi all,

We have recently started using Maven for our build process on one of the
projects. The project in question is in a stable state, and I want to
version it and use the snapshot feature for the future builds. I have been
building this project as <currentVersion>0.1</currentVersion>. Really I am
not totally sure of how the SNAPSHOT system works.

Is it sufficient to add a <version>0.1</version> tag within the <versions>
block to mark the stable version, and then change the project version to
<currentVersion>SNAPSHOT</currentVersion>?

Does it tie in with the version control system at all - or are the versions
in the <versions> block purely a means of recording which stable versions
are available in the repo?

Thanks,

-- 
Anthony Roy.

You better have to use versionned snapshot during the dev :
<currentVersion>0.2-SNAPSHOT</currentVersion>
And when the 0.2 is stable use the
<currentVersion>0.2</currentVersion> to generate the artifact ...

version element in just an info about the cvs tag for an artifact.
I think you could be insterest by the deploy plugin to automate
release production
