Allow LATEST and RELEASE to peg major version similar to SNAPSHOT
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4089
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4089
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Gin-Ting Chen
If we could do 25-RELEASE/25-LATEST it would provide a huge functionality boost
over the current implementation of these 2 keywords.
Currently if I use a value range to try to simulate 25-RELEASE (LATEST)
I would do:
{code}
[25,26)
{code}
This doesn't work very well as SNAPSHOT would be included for 26 even if no 26
released versions are.
Doing:
{code}
[RELEASE,25-SNAPSHOT)
{code}
Works slightly better until you release a release version greater than 25 then
it again breaks since it doesn't look at (and can't really be expected to) the
numerical comparison of 25 vs anything higher than it.
Deploying w. alpha names in versioning will break both these approaches.
For example: alpha-1.1, beta-1.2, etc
