Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Maven distinguishes SNAPSHOT versions and "release" versions.
A SNAPSHOT version can be referenced with a x.y-SNAPSHOT version in Maven pom.xml, in which case it is retrieved from a directory/URL of the same name. The repository directory can store multiple artifacts, each with a timestamped version number generated by the deploy plugin. In this manner the snapshot artifact is not overwritten.
Normal "release" version repositories only store one artifact (type) per version.
Describe the solution you'd like
Enhance pulp to support both SNAPSHOT and "release" versions in its Maven repositories. This is currently not supported.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Manage artifacts using the Pulp CLI / REST endpoints. This is not feasible for Java developers.

Define completion around accepting SNAPSHOT versions in Maven POMs, storing timestamped artifacts under the snapshot directory, and preserving normal release-version behavior.
