             Summary: Resolved 1.02 when declared [1.2.0]
                 Key: MNG-5439
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5439
             Project: Maven 2 & 3
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Dependencies
    Affects Versions: 3.0.4, 3.0.3
         Environment: Linux
            Reporter: David Matejcek
            Priority: Trivial


I have following versions in Archiva, artifact type is ear:
...
      <version>1.2.0</version>
      <version>1.02</version>
      <version>1.2.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
...

The Installer's pom have dependency on this artifact:
      <version>[1.2.0]</version>

But Maven 3.0.4 (same with 3.0.3) downloads a very old version 1.02 instead of 1.2.0. 

When I change the dependency to <version>1.2.0</version>, Maven downloads the correct version of artifact 1.2.0.

I think maven resolves [1.2.0] as a range, parses it as numbers and numerically 1.2.0 might be considered the same as 1.2. 
This is incorrect, because version should be considered as a part of artifact ID and I exactly declared which version I need - note that [1.2.0] is not a range, but the most strict version dependency.

Workaround 1: Old versions have nonstandard versioning. They should be removed from repository or renamed (f.e. 1.02 to 1.0.2). 
Workaround 2: Change the artifact version to 2.0.0 or artifactId.
