[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-787?page=comments#action_45277 ]
Carsten Ziegeler commented on MNG-787: -------------------------------------- Retesting today without updated from the Maven svn, the NPE does not appear anymore (I guess this is due to some updates of some dependency snapshots for the compiler?). So specifying [1.3.02] or the ranges works! So I can use this as a workaround. So the only open issue is that the version specified in the POM is not used. > Wrong dependency handling and problems with version ranges > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-787 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-787 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Bug > Components: maven-artifact > Versions: 2.0-beta-1 > Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler > Priority: Blocker > > > The current dependency mechanism does not use the versions specified in the > POM for compilation.
