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. > Version ranges with non-snapshot bounds can contain snapshot versions > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-3092 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3092 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Dependencies > Reporter: Mark Hobson > Assignee: Jason van Zyl > Fix For: 3.1.1 > > Attachments: MNG-3092.patch, MNG-3092.patch > > > 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.
