It follows the agreed upon conventions for geronimo spec naming.
I think we should reconsider the convention. And use the artifacts
version to contain *all* of the version information. Since the
current convention's version is mostly irrelevant anyways, I suggest
that we use the spec's version + revision number (counter) as the
version.
That makes the above look like:
artfifactId=geronimo-javaee-deployment-spec
groupId=org.apache.geronimo.specs
version=1.1MR3-1-SNAPSHOT
And when released the version would be:
version=1.1MR3-1
This indicates the spec version and a revision count for how many
update/iterations we have applied to it. When its time to make a new
revision then we'd have:
version=1.1MR3-2
And when the spec version changes to say 1.2, then we'd have:
version=1.2-1
IMO this is *much* more natural and allows us to use the Maven
dependencyManagement section to manage all version information
effectively for child modules.
