Working With SNAPSHOTS

Development snapshots of LOCKSS components and tools are created as new features mature or other significant development milestones. They have SNAPSHOT version numbers which change only when official releases are created, but they're typically updated many times between official releases, reusing the same version numbers. They're stored in a Sonatype [[Maven repository|https://oss.sonatype.org/#nexus-search;quick~lockss]], which isn't defined in Maven by default.

runcluster runs these versions by default, and some wiki pages may contain instructions to run SNAPSHOT versions of tools. runcluster knows where to find them, but some one-time setup is needed before they can be used to build plugins, or in order to work with LOCKSS development branchs.

Either:

• Run laaws-dev-scripts/bin/bootstrap-snapshots to install the common parent POM which defines the Sonatype repository, or
• Add the following to your ~/.m2/setting.xml: ``` ossrh-snapshots true ossrh-snapshots Sonatype OSSRH Snapshots https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/repositories/snapshots/content true daily false never ossrh-snapshots Sonatype OSSRH Snapshots https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/repositories/snapshots/content true daily false never
