Richard Vowles commented on MNG-3092:
-------------------------------------
No, of course I am not being sarcastic. We use version ranges all the time
everywhere, and it works perfectly well. You always release from 1.1 and never,
ever release a 1.0 version. Then [1,2) works entirely as expected. I have used
version ranges in my last two major jobs and if you stick that that *simple*
rule, there is absolutely zero problem. We use the bounds plugin to auto
pull-up lower bounds, we just released the Maven Tiles plugin and it uses and
supports version ranges (http://github.com/repaint-io/maven-tiles), the
Groovydoc plugin uses it, the Karma plugin uses it. Version ranges just simply
work perfectly well, just start at 1.1.
> resolution of version ranges with non-snapshot bounds can resolve to a
> snapshot version

> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug

> 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.
