Please delete if already registered. In a dependency I currently specify the version XML tag. The version has to be an actual version, or SNAPSHOT. How about allowing users to specify "min 'version'". So for example, in my system I require the user having log4j at least 1.2.0. So I would really like to say <version>min 1.2.0</version> and then if it finds 1.2.3 on their system it accepts that. Currently I have to specify a specific version, which can force them to download it. This would allow much more flexibility. Clearly you would have to make some assumptions on the naming scheme for version, but there are established conventions for that that the majority of projects adopt. Alternatives to the "min 'version'" could be to specify a comma separated version list <version>1.2.0, 1.2.1, 1.2.7</version> this second one may be easier to implement since its just a matter of checking against the list of options. --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
