Arik Kfir commented on MNG-3092: -------------------------------- +1 for including SNAPSHOTs in the version ranges if the artifact is in the reactor. I also liked the [x,y){use-snapshots=true} proposal. I also agree that this is a process problem and should be enforced by the enforcer plugin, rather than maven core itself. Btw, besides CI builds, another use-case in favor of including SNAPSHOTs in ranges is IDE integration; we have a project consisting of multiple inter-dependant modules and having them resolve to each-other using ranges is very convenient, rather than updating the POMs everytime one of them is released. > Version ranges with non-snapshot bounds can contain snapshot versions > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-3092 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3092 > Project: Maven 2 & 3 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Dependencies > Reporter: Mark Hobson > Attachments: 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.
