[Engine-devel] Time to move to 3.3.0-SNAPSHOT?

Not that I want to join the flamewar :) but the maven version should be exposed to the outside world when we publish maven artifacts. I think the best candidate is the rest-api client, but also (in the future) backend plugin projects. I do not think java developers will want to resolve those artifacts from RPM packages... on Mac os X for example.

0.0.0 will not be OK for all the versions, because it will not be refreshed after its first succesful download. I think you know this, since you created and published into the ovirt maven repo at sonatype for otopi.

Why don't you just send a patch that fixes the linux packaging issue?

Than you,
