Oops, groovy-3.0.0-beta-3.jar has a non OSGi valid version number!

Hmm, got the following from apache karaf log:

2019-08-31 18:32:54     ERROR   F​a​i​l​e​d​ ​t​o​ ​i​n​s​t​a​l​l​

           Apache Felix File Install       java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 
invalid version "3.0.0-beta-3": non-numeric "0-beta-3"

It correctly complains that 3.0.0-beta-3 is an invalid version number due to 
not being 100% numeric. Otherwise the jar is an OSGi bundle, but it will not 
deploy due to version number.

Could you consider using OSGi valid version numbers for betas ? 

Yes, it is possible to unpack the jar, edit the version in MANIFEST.MF, and 
repackage to jar again.
