How should I use SNAPSHOT?

["Helck, Christopher" <ch...@ebs.com>]

I thought I understood snapshots, but a recent email has confused me all
over again :-).

The post suggested that if I have two projects A and B then I could set
A's POM to have
  <currentVersion>1.0-SNAPSHOT</currencyVersion>

And that B should depend on A with
     <dependency>
         <artifactId>A</artifactId>
         <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
     </dependency>


When I try this A gets install in my local repository as A-SNAPSHOT.jar,
and B's build fails because it can't fine A-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this a real feature? Or is it tied to the
SCM plugin? In any case I wish it worked this way...

Thanks.

Two things. First, change the dependency in B to

	<dependency>
		<artifactId>A</artifactId>
		<version>SNAPSHOT</version>
	</dependency>

Second, when deploying or installing A, use the "-snapshot" variant of 
the appropriate goal (eg, "maven jar:install-snapshot").
