Tamas Cservenak updated MRESOLVER-334: -------------------------------------- Fix Version/s: 2.0.0-alpha-7 > Maven Resolver's GenericVersionScheme diverges from the spec > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MRESOLVER-334 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRESOLVER-334 > Project: Maven Resolver > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Resolver > Affects Versions: 1.9.5 > Reporter: David M. Lloyd > Assignee: Tamas Cservenak > Priority: Major > Fix For: 2.0.0, 2.0.0-alpha-7 > > > The [specification for version > resolution|https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#version-order-specification] > indicates these facts which disagree with the implementation in > {{{}GenericVersionScheme{}}}: > * "The Maven coordinate is split in tokens between dots ('{{{}.{}}}'), > hyphens ('{{{}-{}}}') and transitions between digits and characters." - in > {{{}GenericVersion{}}}, the underscore ('{{{}_{}}}') is also treated as a > separator. > * In the examples area, it says that while "{{{}1-sp.1{}}}" {{>}} > "{{{}1-ga.1{}}}", at the same time "{{{}1-sp-1{}}}" {{<}} "{{{}1-ga-1{}}}" > {{=}} "{{{}1-1{}}}" due to "trailing 'null' values at each hyphen". But in > addition to being untrue in the actual implementation, this relation is > clearly nonsensical because it would place {{sp}} before {{{}ga{}}}, which > would have a tremendous negative impact on the existing artifact ecosystem if > it were carried out in the implementation. > * Also in the example area, we have "{{{}1.foo{}}}" {{=}} "{{{}1-foo{}}}" > {{<}} "{{{}1-1{}}}" {{<}} "{{{}1.1{}}}", whereas in practice it is (rightly) > "{{{}1.foo{}}}" {{=}} "{{{}1-foo{}}}" {{<}} "{{{}1-1{}}}" {{=}} "{{{}1.1{}}}". > In my opinion all of these things are spec errors so I'd be happy to see the > spec page be updated and this bug consequently closed as "out of date", > especially since the implementation behavior has been in the wild for some > time. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
