SNAPSHOT dependencies aren't found when repository has 'release' disabled and a
version range is used
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2525
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2525
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Dependencies
Affects Versions: 2.0.4
Environment: Windows XP, Sun JDK 5.0 Update 7
Reporter: Nathan Beyer (Apache)
Priority: Critical
When a repository is configured (POM, profiles, etc), 'releases' is disabled,
'snapshots' is enabled and a dependency uses a version range, the dependency
fails to resolve. The dependency is found when an explicit version is used. The
following can be used to recreate the issue.
Setup the maven snapshot repository in an active profile like this:
<repository>
<id>apache.snapshots</id>
<name>Maven Snapshots</name>
<url>http://people.apache.org/maven-snapshot-repository</url>
<releases>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>
Check out the maven-install-plugin at revision 427494 (or any revision or other
plugin that has a dependency that's a SNAPSHOT). Run a build (mvn package) and
all dependencies should download. Modify the dependency in the POM to use a
version range, instead of an explict version. For example, change the version
"1.0-SNAPSHOT" to "[0,1)", which includes the same version. Run another build
(mvn package) and the dependency will fail to download.
