Hi,  
Via the REST api I can get an listing of all snapshots within a given  
repository such as

"\_snapshot/myrepo/\_all"

How can I do this via the Java API? It appears I can only specify "known"  
snapshots via "GetSnapshotsRequest"

Is there anyway via the Java API to get a complete listing without any  
prior knowledge of snapshot names?

Answered my own question here (just pass an empty array to snapshots)
