What is -SNAPSHOT and why should i care

-SNAPSHOT is a special marker in maven that tell everybody that this particular piece of code is under development and might change at any time. Opposed to a normal versioned release like '4.0.0', a snapshot is never a stable release. Maven will often try to get a more recent version of a SNAPSHOT during compile. A stable release is fixed, once published there is no changing it anymore. Snapshots are normally used to indicate that a build is made of the HEAD or trunk of a project. Later on this page more about releases using maven.
