octomap_msgs, version conflict with message_generation

[gonzalezsieira]

Hi:

I've tried to use the latest version of octomap_msgs (0.3.2), but it seems to be an issue with the dependency message_generation which results in a conflict.

This is declared in the pom.xml of 0.3.2:

<dependency>
      <groupId>org.ros.rosjava_bootstrap</groupId>
      <artifactId>message_generation</artifactId>
      <version>[0.1,0.2)</version>
      <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

Since latest version of message_generation is 0.3.0, it is impossible to use this package. However, when looking into version 0.3.1 of octomap_msgs, the dependency has no upper limit:

<version>[0.1,)</version>

If there is no reason for it, I think the upper limit should be removed from the pom.xml file in version 0.3.2 too.

Hi @gonzalezsieira, thanks for the report.
There might have been a mistake when publishing the version 3.2; that dependency range shouldn't be like this.

The range should be [0.3, 0.4) to keep up the consistency with semantic versioning. I will take a look at it when I have some time.

Thanks so much for your reply. I appreciate your effort in maintianing this repository.

Also, if would be great if you could take a look to the dependency of guava that is declared in message_generation. Required version is 12.0 (quite old in these days), and it might be in conflict with other projects using newer versions of this library. I think this should be changed to [12.0, ), if possible.

That sounds good too; patch versions should be kept open in general. I'm a bit busy this week and the next one; if you send a PR with only those two changes I will approve them. Otherwise, you can wait a bit :)
