Michael McCallum commented on MNG-3092:
---------------------------------------
I _really_ like ranges resolving snapshots. Not including snapshots is a
process problem not a technical one. Use the enforcer plugin to avoid snapshots
in releases.
I use version ranges and have done so for over 3 years, very successfully on
large and small projects. Changing this behaviour IMO would make it much harder
to implement decent CI testing HEAD to HEAD, HEAD to RELEASE and RELEASE TO
RELEASE.
It used to be important for project linking with m2eclipse but not for the last
14 months or so.
A big _no_ vote from me.
p.s. If anyone wants advice on setting up ranges to work properly I can give
you some good advice.

> 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."

> 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.
