Conny Kreyssel commented on MNG-2742:
-------------------------------------
@all:
This is more a generic question.
All build system should be able to get every time the same output for the same
input. In maven, your maven project (the call chain of maven plugins) should
produce the same output for the same POM - today and in future. But if you be
able to set a version range for maven plugins you do not know how a old build
act with new plugins. Possibly you get errors if a required plugin parameter
is not set and so on.
In maven 3.0 you get a warning message if you do not have set a plugin version,
in 3.1 mabe it stop building.

> 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.
