Title is goofed up.. Meant to say..
"Maven assembly plugin throws build error when a pom dependency has a version that contains the brackets for tight tolerance"

>                 Key: MASSEMBLY-453
>                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-453
>             Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-1
>         Environment: Any
>            Reporter: BJ Allmon
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Current behavior:
> A module that executes an assembly will fail with a build error indicating that the dependency artifact version is null for any dependency that includes brackets.
> The brackets are used indirectly through a property. For example: 
> <version>${myApplication.currentVersion}</version> = <version>[1.0-SNAPSHOT]</version>
> The work around(s): 
> 1. Manage static dependency versions in the POM files that include the assembly
> 2. Maintain two different properties. One for build dependencies with brackets and one for assemblies without brackets.
> FIX:
> The assembly plugin should simply ignore possible dependency ranges and other things that are used. Larger projects use properties for version when there are several modules to manage.
> Plugin details: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/
