absolutely - but thanks for point it out. I'll make sure it is
explicitly listed.

definitely possible, though I don't want to add the hooks now until we
get to the point where it is needed, to be able to keep it simple.

Thanks,

Cool.

Two important things come to my mind after reading - my apologies in 
advance if they're obvious to others:

- consistency of snapshot identifiers across primary and secondary 
artifacts produced in a single run, so that they may be correlated by 
clients correctly.

- the ability to push build number from a CI system to maven so that CI 
metadata stay consistent with the repository.

Cool. At first reading the systematic use of snapshot timestamp and the
juggling of format between local and remote repos seemed too much of magic
to me. I now understand this may be the only solution for clock issues.

I think a version.txt file may be required not only for snapshots but also
for proper release versions so that the user can specify a dependency that
is greater than a certain number (ex: 1.7+ or >1.7). Is it the plan to have
another file for it? Wouldn't it be better to merge the 2 files into one?

Thanks
