snapshot 의미

What is snapshot builds/sources version?

Specific to JDK 7, snapshot releases are for users to download and review while the platform is still being developed.

As a general source control (version control) term, a snapshot version indicates a view of the source code taken at a specific time. This is not necessarily stable or ready for full use and can be changed in the future, as opposed to a release version which is stable and should be final.
