maven2snapshotdependency

Hi

Would like to use maven2snapshotdependency to check if any jars in the
repository have been updated.

Unfortunately our pom.xml files contain macros for the version number
For all out snapshot jar file

The dependency in the pom file looks like

      <dependencies>
        <dependency>
          <groupId>com</groupId>
          <artifactId>testUtilities</artifactId>
          <version>${RELEASE}-SNAPSHOT</version>
          <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
       <dependencies>

${RELEASE} is defined in the environment (in this case a wrapper around
maven2 )

When running   maven2snapshotdependency  it gives back dependencies that
look like
testUtilities-${RELEASE}-SNAPSHOT.jar

which obviously is not found

is there a way to define variables for maven2snapshotdependency

or can it be enhanced to provide a script name to generate the "effective
pom"

thanks!
