Description

If you want a specific version of a resource in Maven, [VERSION] is a valid request - e.g. [1.5.8]

I am using grape (from Groovy) and

grape -d install org.slf4j slf4j-api [1.5.8]

will not work. These dependencies are all over the place in our maven repo (and presumably others). I fixed it by adding to ModuleRevisionId.java

protected static String normalizeRevision(String asked) {
if ( asked.startsWith( "[" ) && asked.endsWith( "]" ) && asked.indexOf(',') == -1 )

{ return asked.substring(1, asked.length() - 1 ); }

else
return asked;
}

and using it in the constructor:

this.revision = revision == null ? Ivy.getWorkingRevision() : normalizeRevision(revision);
