Sergei Ivanov commented on MNG-3092:
------------------------------------
Yes, it is possible to work around snapshots creeping in _at the boundary_ of
version ranges by changing version ranges from e.g. [1.1.0,1.2.0) to \[1.1.1,
1.1.999\], and this is precisely what our team had been doing in the last three
years. That does not mean that "the current functionality works fine". It only
means that there is a workaround for one of the cases where it does _not_ work
fine. As Mark correctly pointed out, it still does not solve the problem of
snapshots creeping in _inside_ the version ranges, and we had to set up a
separate local repository for release builds to make sure it was not
contaminated with snapshots.
But in a way it is true that this bug has almost become a feature by now. Given
that it's recently reached a mature age of seven without any hint of a
resolution, we may as well give up waiting.

> 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.
