If checked, Jenkins will parse the POMs of this project, and see if any of its snapshot dependencies are built on this Jenkins as well. If so, Jenkins will set up build dependency relationship so that whenever the dependency job is built and a new SNAPSHOT jar is created, Jenkins will schedule a build of this project.

This is convenient for automatically performing continuous integration. Jenkins will check the snapshot dependencies from the <dependency> element in the POM, as well as <plugin>s and <extension>s used in POMs.

If this behavior is problematic, uncheck this option.
