Scott Sosna commented on MNG-3092:
----------------------------------
Sergei, it's a feature because the Maven3 team abdicated their responsibility
and refused - yes, refused - to take action because it wasn't in their best
interest. Many suggestions have been made, all were shot down, and the team
refused to back out the feature (which, in my opinion and others, would have
been appropriate lacking a solution). Now the spec is being changed to fit the
bug, and books are being written to formalize it?!? Totally mishandled. Total
BS.

> 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."

> 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.
