[java] What exactly is a Maven Snapshot and why do we need it?

Snapshot Dependencies Snapshot dependencies are dependencies (JAR files) which are under development. Instead of constantly updating the version numbers to get the latest version, you can depend on a snapshot version of the project. Snapshot versions are always downloaded into your local repository for every build, even if a matching snapshot version is already located in your local repository. Always downloading the snapshot dependencies assures that you always have the latest version in your local repository, for every build.

your pom contains a lot of -SNAPSHOT dependencies and those -SNAPSHOT dependencies are a moving target enter image description here
