A version SNAPSHOT would be similar to a BETA version?

Work with Maven and by default he creates the Wars files like MeuProjeto-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.war.

If my version is not yet a version 1.0.0 what is the meaning of the word SNAPSHOT? It would not be the same as 0.0.1?

A snapshot version on Maven is the one that has not been released, it is the compilation of your code at a given time.

With this, it is possible to have version 1.0-snapshot, before version 1.0 "real" is released, IE, it is a version still in development.

As the snapshot version is still in development, it can receive updates, so today’s 1.0-snapshot version may be different from yesterday or tomorrow.
