DefaultArtifact: Method getVersionRange returns null also if field version is already set! [SMALL PATCH ATTACHED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2583 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2583 Project: Maven 2 Issue Type: Improvement Components: Artifacts Affects Versions: 2.1 Environment: Java5, WinXp Reporter: Martin Zeltner Attachments: patch_maven-artifact_made-getVersionRange-saver.patch In class *org.apache.maven.artifact.DefaultArtifact* method *getVersionRange* returns *null* altough the version field is already set. In attached patch I check in method getVersionRange if versionRange is null if field version or baseVersion is already set and then create the versionRange by using version/baseVersion. By the way I've replaced HashMap with a LinkedHashMap to remember the insertion order of meta data. For those who don't see why this patch is needed can try binding the eclipse plugin to a phase before the jar plugin is bound. The eclipse plugin uses the org.apache.maven.artifact.resolver.DefaultArtifactCollector which is invoking method setVersion of org.apache.maven.artifact.DefaultArtifact which will erase field version range and cause a NullPointerException in plugin jar that doesn't check if returned version range is null.
