Florian Schmaus commented on MNG-6232: -------------------------------------- I also run into this (and posted to [us...@maven.apache.org|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/888730bd2479a9ae247e12b1f7ae6a85285feb395bdfe99c2e435a46@%3Cusers.maven.apache.org%3E[]).|http://example.com]%29./] The issue is especially bad since this behavior is different between Maven and Gradle, [as can be seen here|[https://github.com/Flowdalic/maven-transitive-dynamic-dependency].] I am not sure if Maven's behavior has to be changed, but it is clear to me that there is a method missing to specify all version within a version series (without pulling in alpha/beta/… releases for the following major/minor version). And the implication that using [1.0, 2.0) also includes 2.0-alpha1 should be mentioned everywhere this format is shown in the documentation. > Version range is not resolved correctly > --------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-6232 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6232 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Dependencies > Affects Versions: 3.3.3 > Reporter: Marek Budyn > Priority: Major > Attachments: pom.xml > > > When dependency is specified as range, e.g slf4j-api version [1.7, 1.8) as in > provided pom.xml, one would expect to resolver to version 1.7.X (e.g. > 1.7.25).
