David Hoffer commented on MNG-3092: ----------------------------------- Yeah I get the idea. Impossible to do so but it would be interesting to know the set of users so turned off by this debacle they stopped/didn't use Maven vs the set of users using the broken feature, but I suspect the former is a much larger size. That being said I concur that Maven shouldn't break builds in existing versions, but that is easily handled. They should fix it now but put the fix behind some optional flag, e.g. command line/settings.xml/etc. Then in a subsequent Maven version upgrade that move that to the default behavior. When they went to 3.0 would have been the ideal time to make the fix but any non-bug fix version change is fine. And...if the Maven devs want to support the 'legacy' broken behavior with an optional flag that is fine too. > resolution of version ranges with non-snapshot bounds can resolve to a > snapshot version > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-3092 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3092 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Dependencies > Reporter: Mark Hobson > Assignee: Jason van Zyl > Fix For: 3.2.x > > 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.
