Interesting use-case, how do you get the jars? From which maven repository? Of the main sources of publicly published jars, I cannot find any CloudStack projects or jars (for all official releases); http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Ccloudstack http://mvnrepository.com/search?q=cloudstack http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache In case of ACS, how do you get the jars if you’re not using a published repo and extracting jars from it? In case of CCP, they are not opensource (or that their changes/interfaces are documented) or publish jars on a some maven repository (not to mention they use the same artifact ID etc), so the only way to get CCP’s jars is to get a package tarball, extract the debs/rpms and get the jars. If in future we decide to do something like publish jars on a public maven repository for GA releases, then we can consider adding -SNAPSHOT otherwise I would encourage pragmatism over a pedantic approach. By not keeping -SNAPSHOT, we reduce the git history divergence and deb/rpm build issues we see too often.
