Is there a way to make Maven download snapshot versions automatically?

Question

So I have a project that depends on a snapshot version of another project. The dependency is:

  org.oop
  

        

Answer 1

I hit the issue of snapshots not updating even when setting -U on the command line. For me the issue was my client was Maven 3 and the server was Maven 2, and in Maven 3 unique snapshots are no longer supported. We had to create a new repository with timestamped snapshots to support the 3.xx clients.
