Jason van Zyl commented on MNG-3092:
------------------------------------
For the record what is documented here as it pertains to snapshot resolution in
ranges is incorrect:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Dependency+Mediation+and+Conflict+Resolution#DependencyMediationandConflictResolution-Incorporating%7B%7BSNAPSHOT%7D%7Dversionsintothespecification
If there is a range specification there is no special exclusion for SNAPSHOTs
currently and right now the behaviour of how snapshots work in ranges works the
same in 2.x and 3.x. Maybe not ideal but that is where it stands today.
This issues touches on snapshots and pre-releases in general as well as trying
to take the latest version of a semantically compatible set of versions. I'm
not sure how to ideally make this work properly for all those use cases with a
simple fix.
Right now by limiting the repositories that are available to a build you can
block the inclusion of snapshots. I'm not suggesting this is ideal but you can
block snapshots from builds if you so choose. I have been looking at this for 2
days now and it's not something I just want to jam into 3.1.0 so I'm pushing it
out as the issue now conflates several issues. It will take me a solid week
just documenting and trying to figure out what's best and discuss it.

> The following is equates to true:
> VersionRange.createFromVersionSpec( "[1.0,1.1]" ).containsVersion( new
> DefaultArtifactVersion( "1.1-SNAPSHOT" ) )
> The attached patch only allows snapshot versions to be contained in a range
> if they are equal to one of the boundaries. Note that this is a strict
> equality, so [1.0,1.2-SNAPSHOT] will not contain 1.1-SNAPSHOT.
