Not starting with a letter, but letters are used in the version of the Xpp3 parser: http://www.extreme.indiana.edu/dist/java-repository/xpp3/jars/ Yes I'm extremely familiar with Xpp3... I've even filed a few bugs against it a while back when the versions and classifiers in the poms weren't

Hi, Personally, I would be pragmatic about this and just adopt the Maven-style versioning so that release would work properly. Or you could hack the release plugin code, add this functionality, and contribute it back via JIRA as an enhancement. It's not so easy, when you change version

Not looking to start an ideological war or anything, but can someone perhaps point out a major project (or two) that uses versions which start with a letter? Major being something with a few thousand customers or something, and open source would be ideal but closed source works so long as the

Wayne, There are several cases where the --batch-mode auto stuff of maven doesn't work in quite a desirable way so the aforementioned flag would be GREATLY appreciated. Examples: 1) 1.0-SNAPSHOT would be auto set to 1.1-SNAPSHOT, but many times we'd like it to go to 1.0.1-SNAPSHOT 2)

Indeed, Indeed there are few projects that use a letter to start the version number, but it's not my choice and I can't change that (immediatly). But it's true that like Daniel said, even with a maven-style versionning convention there are some cases where it could be a good thing to be able

Hi all, Here my problem, I would like to specify the next version of my project when I release with the maven 2 release plugin in batch mode (in a continuous integration process) because it does not handle my incrementation convention. In fact It can not parse the version number for

I don't know if I entirely agree with that. Maven is not just a tool to help you compile and build your Java projects -- it also gently enforces a collection of best practices for building Java projects. It seems like your version starting with a letter does not meet Maven's concept of best

I suppose that depends on who's best practices they are, which best practices they are, and how important they are. I'd really hate to put an issue like the format of a release number on the same par as doing a release without running the tests. Quite frankly, the version starting with a letter
