Elliotte Rusty Harold resolved MNG-5826.
----------------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Bug
I think this is WAI. Can be reopened if you can show the docs say something
different.
> Resolving of a transitive dependency with a range of versions includes
> snapshot version
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-5826
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5826
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Artifacts and Repositories, Dependencies
> Affects Versions: 3.0.5, 3.3.1, 3.3.3
> Reporter: Guy Marom
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: debug-log.txt, pom.xml
>
>
> I have a project with the dependency
> {quote}
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.glassfish.web</groupId>
> <artifactId>javax.servlet.jsp</artifactId>
> <version>2.3.2</version>
> </dependency>
> {quote}
> Which in turn has the following dependency:
> {quote}
> <dependency>
> <groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
> <artifactId>javax.el</artifactId>
> <version>[3.0.0,)</version>
> </dependency>
> {quote}
> When building this project maven also downloads snapshot versions of this
> artifact from
> "https://maven.java.net/content/repositories/snapshots/org/glassfish/javax.el/maven-metadata.xml";
> However, if in my pom I add an exclusion for javax.el under
> javax.servlet.jsp, and then add that exact same dependency it does not
> attempt to download the snapshot version
> ----
> *To reproduce:*
> 1) Create a maven project containing only the attached pom.xml.
> 2) Compile the attached pom as is, see that it downloads the snapshot version
> 3) Unignore the exclusion and the dependency
> 4) Delete <local-repo>/org/glassfish/javax.el (with sub directories)
> 5) Re-compile to see it does not download the snapshot version
