David Hoffer commented on MNG-3092: ----------------------------------- It's things like this that give Maven a bad rap. Your explanation precisely explains why this must be fixed. Can you imaging documenting this feature as you describe it? Not sure if that is really all the edge cases that don't work...I doubt it...but even if that were...everyone that read the spec would be asking why did Maven guys do something crazy like that? It would drive every one nuts. Not to mention all the customers of products wondering why there is no 1.0 version (and most likely others). Lets just fix this...then it works like you expect...and you get 1.0 too. (And if that is the only issue...seems an easy fix.) > resolution of version ranges with non-snapshot bounds can resolve to a > snapshot version > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-3092 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3092 > Project: Maven > 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.
