Maven assembly plugin doesn't throws error when dependency version contains the brackets for tight tolerance ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MASSEMBLY-453 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-453 Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-1 Environment: Any Reporter: BJ Allmon Priority: Minor Current behavior: A module that executes an assembly will fail with a build error indicating that the dependency artifact version is null for any dependency that includes brackets. The brackets are used indirectly through a property. For example: <version>${myApplication.currentVersion}</version> = <version>[1.0-SNAPSHOT]</version> The work around(s): 1. Manage static dependency versions in the POM files that include the assembly 2. Maintain two different properties. One for build dependencies with brackets and one for assemblies without brackets. FIX: The assembly plugin should simply ignore possible dependency ranges and other things that are used. Larger projects use properties for version when there are several modules to manage.
