Scott Sosna commented on MNG-3092:
----------------------------------
My questions are: will the Maven core team accept a patch that only addresses a
portion of this discussion? And if not addressed, how do we avoid extending
discussions on this issue another 6 years?!?
I fully agree with wanting to take incremental steps, and hopefully this is
acceptable. I also know that the current implementation resolves dependencies
magnitudes slower than what was in Maven2. Locking down the behavior is fine,
but it doesn't help me if the overall performance doesn't increase as well. I
have Eclipse users breathing down my back who want to flat-out ditch Maven
because of the Eclipse plug-in problem (the plug-in insists on embedding Maven3
with no way to override it for dependency resolution).
So dealing with just a subset may not be enough, for me, for others, for the
core team. And if it's not, the previous functionality of Maven2 (and very
early Maven3) should be restored.

> 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.
