Description

when timestamps are published, they go to /2.0-SNAPSHOT/. THe decision behind this was to keep the artifact director from growing unreasonably with a large number of snapshots per release.

However, if you now change 2.0-SNAPSHOT to 2.0-yyyyMMdd.HHmmss-B in your POM, it won't be found, as it doesn't know to lookup inside 2.0-SNAPSHOT.

I'd like to keep that structure, but it would require more smarts - and that means cutting off old versions of m2 when it is fixed. I'm inclined to go back to the timestamped directories for the first release, and improve on it later.
