Scott Sosna commented on MNG-3092:
----------------------------------
I'm in the other 50% who require snapshots to be included in ranges for
development, and changing that breaks previous behavior. Sure, I can make the
change, that's fine, but 50% of the populations going to be inconvenienced, and
if they haven't been following this, they'll have no idea why. Potentially
dangerous.
Also, I cannot wait n months until all the IDEs support behavior that I'm not
convinced could be decently explained to them. We've had almost 6 years to
scope this out, and nothing's happened, why does anyone believe it's going to
happen now. Let's restore the behavior from Maven2 - regardless of how right
or wrong anyone feels it is - and start with a clean slate. At least it was
understood and usable, what we have now in Maven3 is neither.

> 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.
