I agree, I am a bit unclear how you can locally test hk2 changes with
V3. You mentioned using snapshots hk2 and then build v3 changing the
hk2 version to snapshot ?
otherwise I think it makes sense, I have broken the builds multiple
times doing updates in hk2 and v3 due to build time differences in
hudson.
