--------------------------------------------------------------------

The more I think about this more is wrong:
 * user defines two remote repositories with different policies for same URL
 * the URL is a MRM group endpoint (and all modern MRMs merge metadata and they 
are usually "mixed"!)
 * consequence is that two remote repositories _metadata_ will report _same 
versions_ for GA
 * a release and a snapshot repository cannot (should not, best practice, etc) 
have _overlapping versions_ per definitionem. A version cannot be "release" and 
"snapshot" both at same time.
 * the "first wins" branch is hit, due overlapping versions (so same version 
will be attempted to put into map once for first and once for 2nd repo, where 
2nd repository "looses").

>   <groupId>com.google.code.findbugs</groupId>

> what happens now is that maven uses the DefaultVersionRangeResolver, which 
> contains this line:
> {quote}{{Metadata metadata = new DefaultMetadata( 
> request.getArtifact().getGroupId(), request.getArtifact().getArtifactId(), 
> MAVEN_METADATA_XML, Metadata.Nature.RELEASE_OR_SNAPSHOT );}}
> {quote}
> So it tries to resolve the dependency range against all the repositories. 
> By searching for "Nature.RELEASE_OR_SNAPSHOT", both configured repositories 
> (snapshot and central) are eligible and selected. And by the order, the 
> snapshot repository is chosen first. 
> Because both remote repositories map to the same local repository, the 
> following version check in lines 210 - 231 iterates over the local versions 
> and finds the matching version in the "snapshots" repository.
> All of this code is called from the ProjectDependenciesResolver (which is 
> injected into a mojo as a component), when calling resolve() on a 
> DependencyResolutionRequest for this specific component 
> (com.googlecode.owasp-java-html-sanitizer:owasp-java-html-sanitizer:bundle:20220608.1).
>  It results in the following (slightly obscure) error message:
> {quote}Could not resolve dependencies for project 
> com.googlecode.owasp-java-html-sanitizer:owasp-java-html-sanitizer:bundle:20220608.1:
>  The following artifacts could not be resolved: 
> com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:jar:3.0.2, 
> com.google.code.findbugs:annotations:jar:3.0.1u2: Could not find artifact 
> com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:jar:3.0.2 
> {quote}
> However, that artifact is clearly present both in the local and remote 
> repository.
>  
> What happens is that the ProjectDependenciesResolver tries to resolve the 
> (release) artifact om.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:jar:3.0.2 against the 
> resolved repository (which is a snapshot only repository) and that repository 
> rightfully refuses to resolve it. Hence the error message. 
> I can fix this (which confirms this behavior) by removing the snapshot 
> repository from the maven_settings.xml and enable snapshots for the "central" 
> repository.
>  
> Expected resolution: The DefaultVersionRangeResolver will not select the 
> "first repository that contains the version" but looks at snapshot/release 
> enabled and choose based on that information. 
> I might find time to whip up a bug fix.
