I noticed that Lucene 1.3-final source builds a JAR file whose version number is "1.4-rc1-dev". What does this mean? Will 1.4-final build as "1.5-rc1-dev"?
Probably. If you modify the sources of a 1.3-final release, and build them, you're not building 1.3-final, but a derivative. We could call it 1.3-dev or something, but that would be strange, as 1.3 development is closed. All development is now towards 1.4-based releases. As a side-effect, even if you make no changes to the 1.3-final sources and build them, it builds as 1.4-rc1-dev. I think that is still safer than calling it 1.3-final, since 1.3-final should be reserved for the exact jar file downloaded from Apache. In general, anything ending with -dev doesn't have any guarantees, and the version before that is only meant to be suggestive.
