Using RepositorySystem.resolveVersion to "lock snapshots"

[jarmoniuk]

As per javadoc,

    /**
     * Resolves an artifact's meta version (if any) to a concrete version. For example, resolves "1.0-SNAPSHOT" to
     * "1.0-20090208.132618-23".
     * 
     * @param session The repository session, must not be {@code null}.
     * @param request The version request, must not be {@code null}.
     * @return The version result, never {@code null}.
     * @throws VersionResolutionException If the metaversion could not be resolved.
     * @see #newResolutionRepositories(RepositorySystemSession, List)
     */
    VersionResult resolveVersion( RepositorySystemSession session, VersionRequest request )
        throws VersionResolutionException;

This could do the trick, but I have no means to test it. Can't make mrm-maven-plugin work with maven-metadata.xml: don't know where to put it.

So, I don't have any pom.xml to test it against.

@slawekjaranowski please review.

It would be ideal if the Resolver method https://maven.apache.org/resolver/maven-resolver-api/apidocs/org/eclipse/aether/RepositorySystem.html#resolveVersion(org.eclipse.aether.RepositorySystemSession,org.eclipse.aether.resolution.VersionRequest) be tested too, but it's rather a test of the Resolver itself.

Edit: Ah, perhaps the its's simply not supported by mrm: mojohaus/mrm#22

@slachiewicz @slawekjaranowski could someone restart the job?

Looks like Github CI is fixed. Could you please restart the jobs? @slachiewicz
