SNAPSHOTS

For using snapshots of development versions you need include the snapshots repo by adding the snapshot build to a dependent project. To do this add the following to your build.gradle project(not module) file

maven {
    url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots"
}

Gradle

dependencies {
    compile 'com.github.vihtarb:tooltip:1.0.0-alpha01-SNAPSHOT'
}

Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.vihtarb</groupId>
    <artifactId>tooltip</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0-alpha01-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
