Markus KARG commented on MNG-3092:
----------------------------------
I want to vote for a clean and intuitive design: [1.5, 1.6) must not include
SNAPSHOTs, [1.5, 1.6-SNAPSHOT) must include SNAPSHOTs. This is absolutely
intuitive to most Maven beginners I have asked about their feeling, and it is
simple to fix for those why rely on snapshots. I do neither like the idea to
make it more complex to exclude snapshots as it is SO SIMPLE AND CLEAR TO READ
as writing -SNAPSHOT to include them, nor do I like the idea to wait for more
months to get a solution finally. Also I want to point out that it is just
obvious that if my project is dependent on a third party library, writing [1.5,
1.6) means that I want specification version 1.5 with latest bug fixes but not
features in progress, which is the mosty typical use case. The only case I do
see when I want to include SNAPSHOTS is when I do have the dependency in the
reactor. Why not making just this single difference? Then nobody must learn a
new syntax, it would work as designed and intuitive, and it would actually be
very intuitive to also include SNAPSHOTs from stuff in my own reactor.

> 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.
