+# Publishing dd-trace-java Snapshots with ddprof SNAPSHOT Dependency
+
+## Overview
+
+This feature allows publishing dd-trace-java snapshot versions that depend on a ddprof SNAPSHOT version with an incremented minor version.
+
+**ddprof Version Calculation:** Current ddprof version `X.Y.Z` → Dependency becomes `X.(Y+1).0-SNAPSHOT`
+
+**Example:** ddprof `1.34.4` → Uses dependency `1.35.0-SNAPSHOT`
+
+### Version Qualification
+
+To avoid overwriting standard snapshot artifacts, builds with `-PddprofUseSnapshot` will have a `-ddprof` qualifier added to their version:
+
+- Standard snapshot: `1.58.0-SNAPSHOT`
+- With ddprof snapshot: `1.58.0-ddprof-SNAPSHOT`
+
+This ensures that both versions can coexist in Maven Central Snapshots repository without conflicts.
+
+## Local Usage
+
+### Testing Dependency Resolution
+
+To verify that the ddprof snapshot version is correctly calculated and applied:
+
+```bash
+./gradlew -PddprofUseSnapshot :dd-java-agent:ddprof-lib:dependencies --configuration runtimeClasspath
+```
+
+Look for the output:
+- `Using ddprof snapshot version: X.Y.0-SNAPSHOT`
+- `Modified version for dd-trace-java: 1.58.0-SNAPSHOT -> 1.58.0-ddprof-SNAPSHOT`
+- `ddprof-lib: Using ddprof SNAPSHOT version X.Y.0-SNAPSHOT`
+- Dependency resolution showing: `com.datadoghq:ddprof:X.Y.Z -> X.(Y+1).0-SNAPSHOT`
+
+### Building with ddprof Snapshot
+
+To build the project with the ddprof snapshot dependency:
+
+```bash
+./gradlew build -PddprofUseSnapshot
+```
+
+### Publishing to Maven Central Snapshots
+
+To publish artifacts with the ddprof snapshot dependency:
+
+```bash
+./gradlew publishToSonatype -PddprofUseSnapshot -PskipTests
+```
+
+**Note:** You must have the required credentials configured:
+- `MAVEN_CENTRAL_USERNAME`
+- `MAVEN_CENTRAL_PASSWORD`
+- `GPG_PRIVATE_KEY`
+- `GPG_PASSWORD`
+
+## GitLab CI Usage
+
+### Manual Job Trigger
+
+A GitLab CI job named `deploy_snapshot_with_ddprof_snapshot` is available for manual execution.
+
+**To trigger:**
+1. Navigate to the pipeline in GitLab CI
+2. Find the `deploy_snapshot_with_ddprof_snapshot` job in the `publish` stage
+3. Click the manual play button to trigger it
+
+**What it does:**
+- Builds dd-trace-java with `-PddprofUseSnapshot`
+- Publishes to Maven Central Snapshots repository
+- Produces artifacts with the ddprof snapshot dependency
+
+**When to use:**
+- Testing integration with unreleased ddprof features
+- Validating compatibility before ddprof release
+- Creating test builds for early adopters
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Files Modified
+
+1. **`gradle/ddprof-override.gradle`** - Calculates snapshot version and stores it for convention plugins
+2. **`build.gradle.kts`** - Applies the ddprof-snapshot configuration
+3. **`buildSrc/src/main/kotlin/dd-trace-java.profiling-ddprof-override.gradle.kts`** - Convention plugin for dependency override
+4. **`buildSrc/src/main/kotlin/datadog/gradle/plugin/version/TracerVersionPlugin.kt`** - Enhanced to support version qualifiers
+5. **`dd-java-agent/ddprof-lib/build.gradle`** - Applies the convention plugin
+6. **`.gitlab-ci.yml`** - New CI job for snapshot publishing
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. The Gradle property `-PddprofUseSnapshot` activates the feature
+2. The configuration reads `gradle/libs.versions.toml` to get the current ddprof version
+3. Version is parsed using regex: `ddprof = "X.Y.Z"`
+4. Snapshot version is calculated: `X.(Y+1).0-SNAPSHOT` and stored in `rootProject.ext.ddprofSnapshotVersion`
+5. **The dd-trace-java version is modified** to add a `-ddprof` qualifier:
+   - `1.58.0-SNAPSHOT` → `1.58.0-ddprof-SNAPSHOT`
+   - This prevents overwriting standard snapshot artifacts
+   - Users can also explicitly set this via `-PtracerVersion.qualifier=ddprof`
+6. The `dd-trace-java.profiling-ddprof-override` convention plugin is applied to projects that depend on ddprof
+7. The convention plugin overrides ddprof dependencies to use the snapshot version
+8. The build and publish proceed with the modified version and overridden dependency
+
+### Dependency Resolution Override
+
+The override is applied via a convention plugin to only the projects that need it:
+
+```kotlin
+// Convention plugin: dd-trace-java.profiling-ddprof-override
+if (rootProject.hasProperty("ddprofUseSnapshot")) {
+  val ddprofSnapshotVersion = rootProject.property("ddprofSnapshotVersion").toString()
+
+  configurations.all {
+    resolutionStrategy.eachDependency {
+      if (requested.group == "com.datadoghq" && requested.name == "ddprof") {
+        useVersion(ddprofSnapshotVersion)
+        because("Using ddprof snapshot version for integration testing")
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Projects apply this plugin explicitly in their build files:
+
+```groovy
+plugins {
+  id "dd-trace-java.profiling-ddprof-override"
+}
+```
+
+This ensures that only projects that actually depend on ddprof are affected by the override.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Only works with semantic versioning in format `X.Y.Z`
+- Requires ddprof SNAPSHOT to be published to Maven Central Snapshots repository
+- Cannot override local JAR files specified with `-Pddprof.jar=/path/to/jar`
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Could not find com.datadoghq:ddprof:X.Y.0-SNAPSHOT"
+
+**Cause:** The calculated ddprof snapshot version doesn't exist in Maven Central Snapshots.
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Verify ddprof has published the snapshot version
+- Check Maven Central Snapshots repository: https://central.sonatype.com/repository/maven-snapshots/
+- Wait for ddprof CI to complete if a new snapshot is being published
+
+### Version not being overridden
+
+**Cause:** The property might not be correctly set or parsed.
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Ensure you're using `-PddprofUseSnapshot` (not `-DddprofUseSnapshot`)
+- Check Gradle output for "Using ddprof snapshot version" message
+- Run with `--info` flag to see detailed dependency resolution logs
