[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBRULES-1800) SNAPSHOT versions should have a version suffix of -SNAPSHOT instead of .SNAPSHOT

[Mark Proctor (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBRULES-1800?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12448219#action_12448219 ] 

Mark Proctor commented on JBRULES-1800:
---------------------------------------

Eclipse cannot work with -SNAPSHOT, it breaks the OSGi standard. Maven have not yet fixed this, they are still trying to decide how to solve the situation:

I can't see us easily solving this one at the moment.

> It causes problems, because maven doesn't recognize it as a snapshot, it's just a fake snapshot:
> - sources aren't downloaded for "mvn eclipse:eclipse", etc
> Mark told me he uses .SNAPSHOT intentionally, as a hack for building the drools eclipse plugin,
> but is that still necessary?
> What is the problem with using -SNAPSHOT there exactly and can we solve it another way? :)
