             Summary: Nexus: closing a staged repository with SNAPSHOT dependencies should fail validation
                 Key: JBBUILD-727
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBBUILD-727
             Project: JBoss Build System
          Issue Type: Enhancement
          Components: Artifact Repositories, Sonatype
            Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet
            Priority: Critical


A Non-SNAPSHOT pom should not have any SNAPSHOT dependency.
If it has, then then it's behavior continually changes because it's SNAPSHOT dependency gets new releases. So it's not a immutable release, so it's not a release.
Note: a timestamped snapshot (6.0.0-201201028000-456) is not considered a SNAPSHOT.

Maven central synchronization and BREW/MEAD do this validation.
But apparently jboss.org's nexus doesn't. It should.
Now, when we make such a easy mistake in our poms, it's caught very late in the game and it takes a lot of effort to clean up.
