SNAPSHOT artifacts are missing alpha in the name.

Maybe we don't care too much since you already have to jump through hoops to use the SNAPSHOT builds, but there is definitely an inconsistency. I think we should include alpha in the SNAPSHOT filenames as well.

Here's an example:
https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/io/opentelemetry/android/agent/maven-metadata.xml

<metadata>
  <groupId>io.opentelemetry.android</groupId>
  <artifactId>agent</artifactId>
  <versioning>
    <latest>0.5.0-SNAPSHOT</latest>
    <versions>
      <version>0.5.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </versions>
    <lastUpdated>20240312081534</lastUpdated>
  </versioning>
</metadata>

Hmmm, maybe this isn't still an issue, just an artifact of the multi-step project reorg?

sonatype should not have SNAPSHOT artifacts, they have a different repository for that.
edit: nvm, your link points to the snapshots repo already
https://central.sonatype.org/publish/publish-guide/#accessing-repositories

what I usually do/did is that I don't publish snapshots in the snapshot repository but I publish semver builds in the stable repository with suffixes (alpha, beta, RC, stable).
Also, check this recommendation for the suffixes https://publicobject.com/2019/12/18/naming-versions/ otherwise you might get the wrong version as the latest stable version (sorting issue).

I think this happens to all the modules except the android-agent one, because the logic to append "-alpha" is added only there:

opentelemetry-android/android-agent/build.gradle.kts

Line 8 in 783ef1b

version = project.version.toString().replaceFirst("(-SNAPSHOT)?$".toRegex(), "-alpha$1")

So I think it should be a matter of moving that logic to the convention scripts to cover all other modules as well.
