[jira] [Commented] (MNG-6232) Version range is not resolved
correctly
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6232?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16009238#comment-16009238 ]
Karl Heinz Marbaise commented on MNG-6232:
------------------------------------------
The simple answer to this is: {{1.8.0-alpha-2}} is less than {{1.8}} which fulfils the requirement of the given range {{[1.7,1.8)}}. A little more in detail.
The version range {{[1.7,1.8)}} just means greater or equal {{1.7}} and less than {{1.8}}. By definition {{1.8-alpha-2}} is less than {{1.8}} which means in consequence less than {{1.8}} which will fulfil the requirement. This can be checked by using
{code}
java -jar apache-maven-3.3.3/lib/maven-artifact-3.3.3.jar 1.8 1.8-alpha-2
{code}
(Works with newer Maven versions as well).
This will printout:
{code}
Display parameters as parsed by Maven (in canonical form) and comparison result:
1. 1.8 == 1.8
1.8 > 1.8-alpha-2
2. 1.8-alpha-2 == 1.8-alpha-2
{code}

> When dependency is specified as range, e.g slf4j-api version [1.7, 1.8) as in provided pom.xml, one would expect to resolver to version 1.7.X (e.g. 1.7.25). Instead maven resolves version 1.8.0-alpha 2.
