For maven based artifact it also means you run copies instead of maven repository ones which is leading to unexpected runtime sometimes.

This code needs to be reworked on its config side cause it is specific to tomee but my point is in < 400 LOC you can get a maven resolver you own and therefore supporting snapshots is very doable there. > > bye Jochen >
