Actually a better approach is:

1) Make sure snapshot repos are explicitly disabled on release (this is good practice)
2) Run the build against an empty maven repo (this is good practice as it ensures the build is reproducible without your local junk). To do this use -Dmaven.repo.local=/some/tmp/path

This will then ensure we don't have any snapshots at all in the build.

BTW the eventual goal is to be able to have POMs that don't reference any repositories at all. However the Maven guys are willing to overlook this whilst we get more stuff sync'd to central. So if we do this, it's critically important that we don't add any repositories to POMs. Anything must be proxied through JBoss.org.

We should also do a proper dependency analysis at some point.

I'm also trying to find out if we can get artifact level filters applied, so we can exclude stuff like jclouds (as it pulls in so much stuff) and focus on syncing core etc. for now.
