----------------------------------------
Hi Carlos,
Here is Peter's rationale behind removing all-numeric qualifiers:
"Well, personally I think it is weird to use a number for the qualifier
because it
is now easily confused. And there is no need for this. It also will give a
strange
sorting order because it is sorted as string, not a number. But if people
really
feel that it should be allowed then I am willing to change it."
So basically it's because people might see a numeric qualifier and expect it to
be sorted
numerically (ie. 10>2), whereas actually the qualifier is always sorted as a
string (10<2).
I can see why you might want to use something like 20080204 as a qualifier,
because it
would sort correctly due to the fixed date width (but only if you use month
before day!)
but currently you need to add a non-numeric character to stop Bnd from
truncating it.
Please let me know if you think it's important for Bnd to retain all-numeric
qualifiers, so
I can sort out a fix with Peter in time for the 1.2.1 release of the
maven-bundle-plugin.
