Description

When using a version that ends with ".SNAPSHOT" instead of the usual "-SNAPSHOT", Maven 3.0 changes the project version to the timestamped version. So "5.2.0.SNAPSHOT" becomes something like "5.2.0.20101109.215833-1". A Nexus snapshot repository will reject this deployment because the version in the directory name does not end with "SNAPSHOT".

I tested that this works in Maven 2.2.1 and Maven 3.0-beta-1, but does not work in Maven 3.0. The build returns an HTTP 400 error when deploying to Nexus.

Error from Nexus log
