> Maven2 does not resolve version ranges correctly [PATCH INCLUDED]
> -----------------------------------------------------------------

> Maven does not properly handle version ranges when the high end is unbounded.
> The spec clearly states that it should not resolve to a SNAPSHOT unless
> included as an explicit boundary. Currently maven2 does resolve to a
> SNAPSHOT which makes usage of version ranges to control versions of
> dependencies unworkable. (We currently use a local build of maven with this
> fix else we could not use version ranges. This is a major issue can you
> please include in the next release?)
> Code fix and unit tests are included.
> Example:
> <dependency>
> <groupId>myGroup</groupId>
> <artifactId>myArtifact</artifactId>
> <version>[1.0,)</version>
> </dependency>
> This version range can resolve to the latest development 1.0-SNAPSHOT. All
> artifact dependencies should ignore SNAPSHOTS as that is not intended by the
> unbounded high end of the version range. This should resolve to any released
> version of 1.1 or higher.
> This document:
> http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Dependency+Mediation+and+Conflict+Resolution#DependencyMediationandConflictResolution-DependencyVersionRanges
> addressed the requirements for version ranges and stated that "Resolution of
> dependency ranges should not resolve to a snapshot (development version)
> unless it is included as an explicit boundary". I think this requirement was
> forgotten when version ranges were implemented.
> I have included a patch for this bug. The fix is in the containsVersion
> method of VersionRange. I have added tests in VersionRangeTest and
> DefaultArtifactCollectorTest. All tests in maven pass with this fix.
