Mark Derricutt commented on MNG-3092:
-------------------------------------
As mentioned in Aether release notes, since 0.9 ( http://wiki.eclipse.org/Aether/New_and_Noteworthy
) Aether has support using 2.* which would resolve anything from 2.0 up to 2.99999999 but
NOT 3.0-SNAPSHOT or 3.0. If this was support by maven itself then Richards convention would
no longer been needed - correct?
The other side of the question is ( and I think this has been discussed here and elsewhere
) is that its not that the resolution of "the range" that shouldn't include the SNAPSHOTs
but what it chosen _from_ the range. Maven already supports basic filtering of this with snapshot
enabled/disabled repositories, but sadly the local repository contains both - I'd rather see
SNAPSHOTs be installed into a different localRepository than releases, that would make a)
cleaning up snapshots easier b) filtering like we want in this ticket ( this does eventually
run off into the question of upper/lower bound resolution as well, but thats a large can with
a LOT of worms ).
> resolution of version ranges with non-snapshot bounds can resolve to a snapshot version

> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug

> 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. Note that this is a strict equality, so [1.0,1.2-SNAPSHOT]
will not contain 1.1-SNAPSHOT.
