Bruno Medeiros commented on MNG-3092: ------------------------------------- I sadly agree with Scott, the time for hope has gone. I use maven as it has no version range feature, I simply pretend it doesn't exist. I tried to use version ranges, migrated a lot of projects, and suddenly, ignoring the spec, the maven team changed the behaviour, with no feasible workaround. I spend days rolling back my changes. I'd love to trust and use maven version ranges again, but I face it as dream: if it happens, great. If it doesn't... Well, maybe one day I can have some free time and fork maven to do it right. > Version ranges with non-snapshot bounds can contain snapshot versions > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-3092 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3092 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Dependencies > Reporter: Mark Hobson > Assignee: Jason van Zyl > Fix For: 3.2.x > > Attachments: MNG-3092.patch, MNG-3092.patch > > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
