I am trying to develop/extend the maven-pst plugin. Basically, this plugin will
read through the eclipse plugins directory and load these plugins as artifacts
in the repository. (This already works)
Then when I create an eclipse plugin project and run a mvn clean package on it,
it uses the a mojo to convert the Manifest file in the project, using the
require bundle property, to populate the POM before loading the dependencies.
Because most of the time the manifest file will not hold the dependency version
information, I want to specify a version range that will get the latest and
greatest release from the repository. I was using a version range of (0.0,)
because not all eclipse plugins have reached the 1.0 and later stage. However,
this does not seem to be working.
My maven-metadata.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><metadata>
<groupId>org.eclipse</groupId>
<artifactId>org.eclipse.equinox.jmx.client</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0.N20071001-0010</version>
<versioning>
<versions>
<version>1.0.0.N20071001-0010</version>
</versions>
<lastUpdated>20071009213825</lastUpdated>
</versioning>
</metadata>
Which should mean that if I have this in my pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse</groupId>
<artifactId>org.eclipse.equinox.jmx.client</artifactId>
<version>(0.0,)</version>
</dependency>
then it should pick it up, but that doesn't work. It only works if I set the
version exactly right:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse</groupId>
<artifactId>org.eclipse.equinox.jmx.client</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0.N20071001-0010</version>
</dependency>
Maybe the reason this isn't working is because version ranges do not use the
local repository? Which is where I have installed all my eclipse plugins. Do I
need to specify directly that they are releases in the maven-metadata.xml?

Is version 1.0.0.N20071011 a released or snapshot version? Version
ranges are not supposed to get snapshots unless specifically part of the
version range (but the current code does not handle this properly).
We use version ranges all the time and the general form of [1.0,) will
find any released version 1.0 or greater. I'm not sure what your
example does because you are excluding version 0.0.

Subject: Version ranges
Looking at the documentation on the site and Codehaus, I could not find
the best way to specify to get the latest release as a version range. I
tried (0.0,) and it did not seem to work properly for all types of
version strings. In particular, the version string: 1.0.0.N20071011 does
not get picked up using that version range. Any ideas?
