Are you sure that's still the case (the parts-restriction, not the messiness of software ;-)? At least the Maven Resolver uses a versioning scheme that's quite flexible [1]. Not sure if the flexibility at this low level bubbles up all the way to the top, though. Maybe one the Maven developers can chime in. > Format should be N[.N as many times as needed][optional hyphen and > qualifier of some sort] or something like that.
