John Casey commented on MNG-3092:
---------------------------------
I'd tend to favor the approach suggested by kenney on the mailing-list thread
for this issue. Something like:
{noformat}
[1.1-1.2]{snapshots=false}
{noformat}
would approximate the sort of advice given to regular expressions in other
languages (and maybe in java, can't remember), so there is some precedent. IMO,
we can't find a "pure" way to switch this behavior on/off using straight range
syntax as we've used it before.
Also, it's legitimate to me to exclude snapshots, since by definition snapshots
are part of a development effort...as such, they could contain major
regressions and other nasty bugs from version to version. So having a range
like the above, I'd almost say the default should *exclude* snapshots, and use
something like '\{snapshots=true}' to *enable* them...
I'm happy to put this code in place, but it may have to wait for 2.0.11 so we
can have some soak time, to make sure it doesn't hose anything else.

> Contrary to the 2.0 design docs:
> "Resolution of dependency ranges should not resolve to a snapshot
> (development version) unless it is included as an explicit boundary."
> -- from
> http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Dependency+Mediation+and+Conflict+Resolution#DependencyMediationandConflictResolution-Incorporating%7B%7BSNAPSHOT%7D%7Dversionsintothespecification
> The following is equates to true:
> VersionRange.createFromVersionSpec( "[1.0,1.1]" ).containsVersion( new
> DefaultArtifactVersion( "1.1-SNAPSHOT" ) )
> The attached patch only allows snapshot versions to be contained in a range
> if they are equal to one of the boundaries. Note that this is a strict
> equality, so [1.0,1.2-SNAPSHOT] will not contain 1.1-SNAPSHOT.
