I was not suggesting that it could be changed...only that it doesn't make sense (except from a pure mathematical point of view).
Given this "engineer's approach" to version range resolution, it seems like a better idea is simply to say [1.0,2.0-SNAPSHOT). I have verified that this eliminates 2.0-SNAPSHOT versions. However, what I have not verified is what happens when you have other pre-release versions (e.g., 2.0-alpha-1). Is 2.0-SNAPSHOT always considered as older than non-SNAPSHOT pre-release versions like alpha, beta, etc? -----Original Message----- From: Manfred Moser [mailto:manf...@simpligility.com] Sent: Friday, September 23, 2016 11:47 AM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: help with version range Fair enough. From the purely engineering/mathematical point of view it might not make sense. But I dont see a way to get that changed with breaking a TON of other stuff. And I am not even sure if it would be more intuitive instead of just being different.
