Karl Heinz Marbaise commented on MNG-6087:
------------------------------------------
Maybe I misunderstand your issue or expectations, but you say this artifact
should be used if the version is greater or equal {{2.1.3-270}} with your range
definition...So to be honest I don't see the problem. From my point of view it
looks like: Works as designed.
On the other hand someone has decided to delete a released version from a
repository which is the problem and not the version range (or may be you have
to reconsider the definition of your version range)....cause in Maven and in a
repository releases have to be immutable...if this is not the case the whole
contract will fail...
Maybe you can explain more in detail what you mean by:

It seems that Maven should not require any of the named versions in a version
range to actually be present before it can see whether any versions exist that
do fit in the range. We only want to have to update our minimum version when
there is a breaking change that we have to address, not just when the
publishers decide to remove the minimum version from availability.

At the moment I'm not sure what you mean in detail...

> Key: MNG-6087
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6087
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 3.2.5
> Reporter: John Chesshir
>
> When I run for example 'mvn package', there's a dependency that cannot be
> resolved during Maven's pom.xml evaluation faze; This is a mockup of the part
> of the pom that causes the problem:
> <dependency>
> <groupId>com.project</groupId>
> <artifactId>artifact</artifactId>
> <version>[2.1.3-270,)</version>
> </dependency>
> This results in the following error issued by Maven:
> Failed to execute goal on project MyProject: Could not resolve dependencies
> for project com.myproject:mymodule:jar:1.3.9-240: Could not find artifact
> com.project:artifact:jar:2.1.3-270 in myRepo
> (http://myrepo.local:7392/artifactory/repo)
> If I browse the Artifactory repository
> http://myrepo.local:7392/artifactory/repo, there are several versions of
> com.myproject:mymodule jars present. However, the owners of that artifact
> have set up their CI to only keep a rolling snapshot, and version 2.1.3-270
> is no longer available.
> We are using Maven 3.2.5. It seems that Maven should not require any of the
> named versions in a version range to actually be present before it can see
> whether any versions exist that do fit in the range. We only want to have to
> update our minimum version when there is a breaking change that we have to
> address, not just when the publishers decide to remove the minimum version
> from availability.
