The 1.8.x releases are being cut from the 1.8.x branch [1]. Once 1.8.1  
is out, 1.8.2-SNAPSHOT releases should start being published to the  
Apache snapshot repo.

Yes, it will make a difference: 1.8.0 (and soon 1.8.1) are fixed  
versions, 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT is built regularly from the master branch and  
so can change at any minute.

Note that master (and so 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT) does not support Java 6 at  
this point, but 1.8.0 does. Which Java version(s) are you developing  
for?
