Maven 2.x Enforcer Plugin

DependencyConvergence gets better if it doesn't fail on snapshots of same baseVersion

Description

The DependencyVersionMap used by DependencyConvergense uses node.getArtifact().getVersion() when comparing versions. This makes the rule fail more often than needed because the version compare doens't ignore the fact that some snapshots may have been resolved to timestamp. If the code was node.getArtifact().getBaseVersion() instead then DependencyConvergense would only fail on real version mismatches.

I think this should be reported as a bug, and not an improvement. Maven 3 enforces timestamped versions, which makes the dependency converge rule almost useless with Maven 3 - because of this bug. The priority could also be lifted....

Agree with Erik, this is a show-stopper for timestamped snapshot use. See my StackOverflow question here for a repeatable test scenario: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8662129/maven-unique-snapshots-and-dependency-convergence

And another +1. Indeed, this is a show-stopper when using Maven 3.

Is there a particular reason this change isn't being made?

Of course, the other question is: why does Maven resolve some snapshot dependencies to a timestamped version, and others not? It seems to resolve direct dependencies on "-SNAPSHOT" to a unique timestamped version, but transitive dependencies to a non-unique version. Perhaps that is the real bug that needs to be fixed?

In the meantime, until this is fixed I have forked the Maven enforcer plugin trunk, and applied the change suggested by the OP. The source is available here:
