+== Snapshots
+
+Typically, you will want to develop against the latest stable version of the engine. For testing
+purposes, snapshot builds are generated and updated every time that changes are commited to the
+master branch.
+
+You can add the snapshot repository to your build files, and set the version to the snapshot build:
+
+
+=== Gradle
+
+[source,groovy]
+----
+repositories {
+    mavenCentral()
+    maven {url 'https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/'}
+}
+
+/*
+* Gradle defaults to cacheing artifacts for 24 hours. This entry makes sure that
+* you are always using the absolute latest snapshot, but it does mean that the engine
+* gets downloaded on every build.
+*/
+configurations.all {
+   resolutionStrategy.cacheChangingModulesFor 0, 'seconds'
