Right, I tend to forget that aspect, it's just natural to me. It's also recommended that you use snapshot for intra-team dependencies, but use releases for inter-team dependences. Take an OSS model for example, we try to avoid picking up snapshot dependencies of other oss projects we depend upon in Maven. We typically wait for a release before updating. If you aren't careful and you've mixed releases and snapshots together in the same repo, then it's difficult to give people access to one without the other. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
