Hello. I'm working on a project that uses version numbers of the form:
2.0-rc9 Where '2' is the major version, '0' is the minor version, and 'rc9' is obviously some sort of qualifier - this one being "release candidate 9". Obviously, Maven doesn't deal with this too well (it falls back to lexicographical ordering with regards to version ranges). I'm looking at this page: http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/version-rules.html Given that there aren't build numbers, what's the least intrusive and "most correct" version numbering scheme to switch to for this project? By least intrusive, I believe I mean "closest to the existing one in terms of meaning". I think it's probably going to be: M.N.P-rc09 Where 'M' is the major version, 'N' is the minor version, 'P' is the incremental version and '-rc09' is a qualifier in a format such that '-rc10' would be lexicographically greater than '-rc09' (in order for version ranges to work correctly). Any assistance would be appreciated (or any "just shut up and use that" messages, too). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
