I *believe* this will work then also, when 1.2 is released.

Much better solutions are "you get a warning", or "you can > specify a range of allowable versions, and the build software chooses > the right version". When the specification of your library is [1.2-SNAPSHOT,) and the other is [1.1] maven will complain, I would expect, before you run into strange compile errors. > This is a hard problem, and any dependency management system which > requires you to pick a single version of a dependency, when multiple > versions exist (and your code might work on more than one) is going to > hit it.
