I have started to learn Maven and have the following question:

I would like to dynamically specify a dependency for building maven project instead of using the dependency specified in POMs – is there a way to do that?

So although I have the following dependencies specified in POM

...
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>group</groupId>
<artifactId>ProjectComponent</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
 </dependency>
...

I would like to specify in the build command that I want to use a different version.
Is there a way to specify this?

The idea is that I want to have an integration build made in Jenkins with a dependency on the latest available snapshot of the system for a particular branch. That snapshot is not released to the maven repository yet, so I would like to fetch it in Jenkins and specify a dependency for mvn build.

Thanks!

POSSIBLE SOLUTION: What I ended up with is to use ${my.lib.version} construction and specify it with -Dmy.lib.version=1.0-SNAPSHOT” when calling to mvn. Thus I can use it for Jenkins integration builds by fetching arbitrary snapshot versions of dependencies from svn and feeding their snapshot versions to the integration build pom.
