Sergei Ivanov commented on MNG-3092:
------------------------------------
Judging by the comments, we must be the only team that has successfully
implemented and used version ranges in a set of 100+ active projects on the
back of Maven 3 for the last two years. Yes, MNG-3092 raises its ugly head from
time to time, but we managed to work around it. Don't get me wrong, I would
love MNG-3092 to be fixed, but only if it is fixed properly. Any band-aid
solution will likely cause even more grief and frustration. I cannot see any
compelling reason to stay on Maven 2 though, this is effectively a dead end,
and I reckon plugin authors will soon start dropping support for Maven 2. By
the way (commenting on the earlier reported speed issues), I do not know what
happened under the hood in the latest version of IntelliJ IDEA 13, but
refreshing and resolving Maven 3 projects is blazing fast now.

> 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.
