Herve Boutemy commented on MNG-3092:
------------------------------------
when I read http://www.infoq.com/news/2012/04/osgi-snapshot, I understand they
cannot do SNASPHOT this way:
a SNAPSHOT in Maven is not 1.1.20121108..., but 1.1-20121108...: notice the
dash instead of dot, and read [the Maven comparison
doc|http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.1-SNAPSHOT/maven-artifact/apidocs/org/apache/maven/artifact/versioning/ComparableVersion.html]
"a dash usually precedes a qualifier, and *is always less important than
something preceded with a dot*."
if OSGi can't afford a new separator, they can't do SNAPSHOTs like Maven, or
they'll face problem reported by the article: the comparison algorithm is based
on a bad trick to change behaviour when a minor number is detected as a
timestamp then not treated as a real number
> Version ranges with non-snapshot bounds can contain snapshot versions

> 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."
> -- from
> http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Dependency+Mediation+and+Conflict+Resolution#DependencyMediationandConflictResolution-Incorporating%7B%7BSNAPSHOT%7D%7Dversionsintothespecification
> 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.
