Richard Vowles commented on MNG-2742: ------------------------------------- This has been true since 2.0.4? You *have* to be kidding! I am using 3.0.3 and it is still broken! > Using a version range in a plugin dependency causes "failure to resolve > artifact" error > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2742 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2742 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Dependencies > Affects Versions: 2.0.4 > Environment: Windows XP SP2, java version "1.5.0_08" > Reporter: Matthew Adams > Fix For: Issues to be reviewed for 3.x > > Attachments: mvn.txt, pom.xml > > > If I declare a dependency in a plugin using an exact version, Maven correctly > resolves the artifact. If, however, I change the dependency's version to a > version range, Maven no longer resolves the artifact. I'm using the very > same artifact and version range in my project's dependencies and everything > works ok. See my attached pom.xml file for details, in particular, the > comments "<!-- Using version range here ok -->" and "<!-- Can't use version > range here! -->". > I am using the "major.minor.revision-buildNumber" version string syntax as > described on the wiki. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
