I was talking about this with Brian a few days ago when I saw this
pass by the p2 list.
At least in the case of Maven and Eclipse going forward in the future
I don't see any downside to just using the same versioning scheme as
OSGi. If it makes things easier for interoperability then I'm all for
it. We would have to support our current scheme but anyone going
forward could just use the x.y.z.qualifier notation. I realize that p2
would have touchpoints for things like RPMs and does this proposal
cover that as well?
In the proposal it says there is a SAT4J solution forthcoming and this
is something I've talked to Oleg about. If you could declaratively
state the strategy with a grammar, or XML file and generate version
parsing schemes and dependency resolvers which I see consisting of the
correctly generated equations that would be very cool and something
everyone could use.
I'm committed to trying to attain some meaningful level of operability
between Maven and OSGi. As far as runtime modularity I believe OSGi
has won (I have other things to say about the programming model) and
it would be useful to have some mechanism for describing how the
resolution would work and then generate the necessary machinery.
The SAT4J solution is this the discussion you're having on the linux
mailing lists?

Dear all,
There was a discussion about version ranges management a few weeks ago
on the ML.
I think that the following document from Eclipse p2 could be of
interest:
