Snapshot Problematic Overview

[AndreG-P]

No more snapshot versions in the master branch. Instead using more minor version numbers.
More Important! No more snapshot dependencies!

@physikerwelt would it be possible to use checkstyles to avoid snapshot dependencies?

Overview

This is an overview issue about the snapshot problematic we discovers. The first part links to all other open issues in the other projects (not checked citeplag and related projects).
The second part shows all snapshot versions in the mathosphere project.

[physikerwelt]

The POM was forked from https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/pom.xml which has evolved substantial since then. Maybe there is something in there what we can backport. We should continue to use snapshot within the same repository, and follow the standard release on tag procedure. However, we should not refere to snapshot versions that are in another repo.

As far as I know checkstyle only checks JAVA code.

@AndreG-P we should test the changes in https://github.com/ag-gipp/current-java-software to ensure that it does not break something in citeplag

Any progress here?
