So in fact -SNAPSHOT is to be set AFTER the build number but not as the
qualifier. So that particular section of BBMW is wrong then: It says
that SNAPSHOT shall be the qualifier (= BEFORE the build number). Whom
to blame for? ;-)

scheme is not that important any more. The general practice is

      x.y[.z]-[alpha|beta|rc1,rc2...]-n-SNAPSHOT

Mergere? :-) But as long as you understand how SNAPSHOT works, the version

Join the dev list and give your comment, i think there is a jira associate If you trust release plugin enought ( yeah i do ;-) ), there is a batch mode trigger the plugin to auto assign values. I would suggest you to experiment

 basically, the release plugin validate your build, remove the
