How to download SNAPSHOT version from maven SNAPSHOT repository?

Question

So I have a project and I do regular releases to maven without a problem. I now want to make available a SNAPSHOT version of this project. So I do \'mvn clean deploy\'. Ever

Answer 1

For the sake of completeness, I would like to add that it is also possible by modifying the pom.xml of a project, simply add

 
    
      oss.sonatype.org-snapshot
      http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots
      
        false
      
      
        true
      
    
  

to your list of repositories.

In my opinion, this is a better solution than modifying ~/.m2/settings.xml. The pom.xml file will also be available for other project participants through Git and allow them to download the snapshots as well.
