Description

As a user I would like to be able to override SNAPSHOT dependencies from the command line so that the build would not be aborted if I have SNAPSHOT dependencies in my pom.xml.
For example let's consider I have a pom.xml which declares the following dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
    <artifactId>test</artifactId</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

or this parent:

<parent>
    <groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
    <artifactId>test</artifactId</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>

When I start the build it would fail, because I have unresolved SNAPSHOT dependencies. However, it would be really useful if I can specify the following:

mvn release:prepare --batch-mode -DdependencyVersion.com.mycompany:test=1.1.RELEASE -DdevelopmentVersion.com.mycompany:test=1.2.BUILD-SNAPSHOT
