Jacob Briggs commented on MRELEASE-519: --------------------------------------- We've been hit by the bug whilst attempting to upgrade to release plugin 2.0. 2.0-beta-8 does *not* have this issue, so it seems to affect the later beta and the final. The presence of the artifact in the range locally or remotely does not affect the behaviour. > release plugin fails on version ranges > -------------------------------------- > > Key: MRELEASE-519 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-519 > Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: prepare > Affects Versions: 2.0 > Environment: Mac OS X 10.6, maven 2.2.1 > Reporter: Stephen Cooper > Priority: Critical > > I have the following dependency in my pom.xml > <dependency> > <groupId>com.ften.protocols</groupId> > <artifactId>protocols</artifactId> > <version>[3.0.0,)</version> > <scope>compile</scope> > </dependency> > I downloaded the source for maven-release 2.0 and installed locally. > If I specify 2.0-beta-9, then mvn release:perform functions as it should.
