Nils Knappmeier commented on MNG-3092:
--------------------------------------
I digged through the Maven Code last week and I'm surprised that no one has
mentioned MNG-4751 in any comment of this issue.
On 8/Apr/2010, there was a change by Benjamin Bentmann with MNG-3092 in the
commit comment. The change modified the Restriction-class so that SNAPSHOTS
would only be allowed if a boundary contained a SNAPSHOT.
The change was reverted on 15/Sep/2010 because of MNG-4751 ("Even with a
snapshot dependency in the pom, a release version is included in the classpath
for compilation", if another dependency contains a version range with
release-boundaries for this artifact).
I therefore think, this issues (MNG-3092) can only be solved by some kind of
soft restriction. A range with release-boundary must be able to include
SNAPSHOT-dependencies, but release-dependencies should have preference.

> 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.
