+Introduction
+
+ If you are trying to build a development version of a maven plugin, or you
+ just need to trial the latest plugin code that is yet to be released, then
+ you may need to access the maven plugin snapshot repositories.
+
+Repositories
+
+ The most widely known repositories are {{{http://maven.apache.org/}Maven}}
+ itself hosted at Apache and the {{{http://mojo.codehaus.org/}Mojo Project hosted}}
+ at CodeHaus.
+
+ Both of these sites provide snapshot versions of their plugins which are
+ available from the plugin snapshot repository.
+
+ * apache snapshots = http://people.apache.org/maven-snapshot-repository
+
+ * codehaus snapshots = http://snapshots.maven.codehaus.org/maven2
+
+How to include the plugin snapshot repositories as part of your build
+
+ You need to modify your <~/.m2/settings.xml> file to include two new profiles
+ and then when you need access to the plugin snapshots use <<<-Papache>>> or
+ <<<-Pcodehaus>>> to enable the profiles. The profile only needs to be enabled
+ once so that the plugins can be downloaded into you local repository. Once
+ in your local repository Maven can succesfully resolve the dependencies and
+ the profile no longer needs to be activated.
