Go into your ~/.m2/settings.xml and set the snapshot policy to "never" 
on the snapshots repo.  The default is once daily.  Then you can have 
manual control of when the snapshots are updated by passing the "-U" 
switch to mvn.

This is the evil of snapshots.  We've got to be depending upon frequent 
releases, using snapshots at a minimum when developing locally.  Then 
release, then do integration testing.
