Benjamin Podgursky commented on MNG-612:
----------------------------------------

Sorry to jump on an ancient ticket, but could you point me to how to modify this behavior via Aether?  

For context, I'm moving a bunch of projects from ivy to maven dependency declarations, and it would be really helpful to at least temporarily emulate ivy's "always choose newest" behavior so I don't have to manually hunt through the dependency lists to make sure nothing is getting a different version than it used to...

> currently, the collector only:
> - selects nearest "suggested" version in a valid range
> - latest version from the valid ranges if none suggested
> - fails if ranges are over-constrained
> This needs to be configurable:
> - select newest, even if there is a nearer suggestion
> - select oldest, even if there is a nearer suggestion
> - fail if all suggestions don't equate or a range results instead of a single version
> - ignore over constrained ranges and fallback to some other algorithm
> - select snapshots even if they weren't explicitly specified
