quarkus create -P io.quarkus:quarkus-core:999-SNAPSHOT seem to whats needed which makes sense.

But would be good we could list the "known" platforms quarkus cli has. just to give people a chance to locate the right one for them.

specifying the partial (999-SNAPSHOT) should have worked, and certainly did at one point. You shouldn't have to specify that much to get a local build to work.

We broke this when we changed the default group id to io.quarkus.platform

This also works:
quarkus create -P io.quarkus::999-SNAPSHOT

@maxandersen : the question is: do we want to change the default group to io.quarkus if 999-SNAPSHOT is used? Do we want to publish a snapshot of io.quarkus.platform?
