Mark Derricutt commented on MNG-3092:
-------------------------------------
+1 on pushing to 3.1.1 - I'd rather see some good thoughts/docs and consensus
before making any changes here. As Herve mentions the problem is not so much
the range resolution, but the version *selection* - an initial thought of mine
requires POM schema changes: adding
<selection>lowerbound/upperbound</selection> and
<snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots> (or similar) to the <dependency>
element - <selection> could be default to upperbound ( existing behaviour ) or
even defaulted to that for <compile> scope, lowerbound for test. One could
even do that without changing the pom, but it is a change in behaviour.
Since the introduction of the dependency:purge-local-repository goal I've also
come to add that to my release plugins prepareGoals, this forces any local
-SNAPSHOTs to be removed during a release so only released artifacts get used -
this actually solves 90% of my initial "no snapshots in ranges" problems.

> Contrary to the 2.0 design docs:
> "Resolution of dependency ranges should not resolve to a snapshot
> (development version) unless it is included as an explicit boundary."
> -- from
> http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Dependency+Mediation+and+Conflict+Resolution#DependencyMediationandConflictResolution-Incorporating%7B%7BSNAPSHOT%7D%7Dversionsintothespecification
> 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.
