Maven 快照(SNAPSHOT)
一个大型的软件应用通常包含多个模块，并且通常的场景是多个团队开发同一应用的不同模块。举个例子，设想一个团队开发应用的前端，项目为 app-ui(app-ui.jar:1.0)，而另一个团队开发应用的后台，使用的项目是 data-service(data-service.jar:1.0)。
现在可能出现的情况是开发 data-service 的团队正在进行快节奏的 bug 修复或者项目改进，并且他们几乎每隔一天就要发布库到远程仓库。 现在如果 data-service 团队每隔一天上传一个新版本，那么将会出现下面的问题：
data-service 团队每次发布更新的代码时都要告知 app-ui 团队。
app-ui 团队需要经常地更新他们 pom.xml 文件到最新版本。
为了解决这种情况，快照的概念派上了用场。

data-service 项目为每次小的改动发布 1.0 快照。

虽然，快照的情况下，Maven 在日常工作中会自动获取最新的快照， 你也可以在任何 maven 命令中使用 -U 参数强制 maven 下载最新的快照构建。
mvn clean package -U
让我们打开命令控制台，去到 C:\ > MVN > app-ui 目录，然后执行下面的 mvn 命令。
C:\MVN\app-ui>mvn clean package -U
Maven 将在下载 data-service 最新的快照之后，开始构建项目。
