Re: Maven versioning issues

[guilhelm savin <guilhelm.savin AT gmail.com>]

It should fallback to 1.2 since the dependency version range include 1.2 but not 1.3... It's the dark side of maven. We recently changed the way that modules are included, using ${project.version}, but I don't know what is really the best way to do that. We still have work to do with these bloody POMs :'(

Sorry for the API doc. We are actually rethinking the "web" part of the project. The new version of the website will be hosted on Github (https://graphstream.github.io). The API is already available here : http://data.graphstream-project.org/api/gs-core/

OK, had a quick look - my version of .m2/repository/org/graphstream/gs-ui/1.2/gs-ui-1.2.pom has:
                <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.graphstream</groupId>
                        <artifactId>gs-core</artifactId>
                        <version>[1.2,1.3)</version>
                        <optional>false</optional>
                </dependency>
                <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.graphstream</groupId>
                        <artifactId>gs-algo</artifactId>
                        <version>[1.2,1.3)</version>
                        <optional>false</optional>
                </dependency>
So I guess it's going for the 1.3-SNAPSHOT and not finding it. I would have hoped that maven would then fall back to 1.2, but I'll admit to being hazy on the details.

It was easy-ish ;) - I couldn't find a document of the changes, and I think the API docs on the site are still v1.2. If anyone else is trying to figure out where the Viewer classes have gone, this is how I found them:

unzip -t ~/.m2/repository/org/graphstream/gs-core/1.3/gs-core-1.3.jar | grep Viewer
