[hibernate-dev] Strange issues with -snapshot dependencies

I worry about this problem happening but haven't experienced it.  If 
your building the SNAPSHOT build locally that you want to use, would it 
make sense to give it a unique name that wouldn't be found in the remote 
maven repository?  Something like:

hibernateTargetVersion = '5.0.1-SANNE-SNAPSHOT'

That might be a pita but at least you would have more confidence that 
its right.

Another approach would be to disassemble (jad or procyon-decompiler) one 
of the SNAPSHOT jar classes to see if your code changes are in it.
