Review Comment:
it's an example but there are no hard coded values for EA (early access).
if you prefer i can remove the reference/example

> Key: MNG-7559
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7559
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.8.3
> Reporter: Andrzej Jarmoniuk
> Assignee: Michael Osipov
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.8.x-candidate, 3.9.0, 4.0.0, 4.0.0-alpha-3,
> 4.0.0-alpha-4

> Since I know that ComparableVersion was brought to Maven from
> versions-maven-plugin, it turns out the bug described here:
> https://github.com/mojohaus/versions-maven-plugin/issues/744
> also exists in maven, at least in 3.8.3.
> According to the maven version spec, versions containing a qualifier should
> be treated as less major than the same versions without the qualifier.
> Currently it's only the case for a few "standard" qualifiers, e.g. "-rc*",
> "-alpha", etc.
> However, it looks like "2.3-pfd" is deemed less major than "2.3".
> {code:java}
> @Test
> public void testComparableVersionWithCustomQualifier()
> {
> assertThat( new ComparableVersion( "2.3" ).compareTo( new
> ComparableVersion( "2.3-pfd" ) ),
> greaterThan( 0 ) );
> }
> {code}
