Hi,
I am trying to extend the 3rd party gradle-versions-plugin to allow tweaking the search for updates a bit. In my test-case, I use guava 15.0 as stated dependency, and I pretend I do not want to be informed about any guava new 16.x versions, but instead only about new releases of the 15.x chain.
I would like to exclude all kind of beta versions from being considered. As an example, currently I get this report:
- junit:junit [4.11 -> 4.12-beta-2]
- org.apache.wicket:wicket-core [6.16.0 -> 7.0.0-M3]
- org.apache.wicket:wicket-util [6.16.0 -> 7.0.0-M3]
- org.springframework:spring-core [4.0.6.RELEASE -> 4.1.0.RC2]
None of those are updates I care about, however e.g. the important wicket 6.17.0 update is hidden here. So I wondere whether I can tweak the resolution of dependencies to hide what I don’t want to see. I understand that gradle’s possibilities here are probably somewhat limited by Ivy (or some adapter), I just try to understand what is still possible.
The gradle-version-plugin builds up an artificial set of dependencies with version set to e.g. ‘latest.release’, and then invokes
def conf = project.configurations.detachedConfiguration(latest as Dependency[]).resolvedConfiguration.lenientConfiguration
which I guess is not a mere field accessing chain, but getResolvedConfiguration() actually performs some kind of lookup. For my example case, I first modified the plugin to use ‘15.+’ instead of ‘latest.release’. This works ok, it does not show any 16.* versions.
Next however I would like to be able to exclude versions in finer detail, as an example using the range notation (http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/latest-milestone/ivyfile/dependency.html) E.g. I used ‘(,16.0[’ instead of ‘latest.release’, but that did not have the desired effect

I the gap I marked, guava 16.0-rc1 is chosen as a resolution of ‘(,16.0[’. Any idea what goes wrong, and other ideas of how I could achieve my original goal?
