* Numeric tokens have the usual ordering of integers.
* Qualifiers are first converted to lower case in the English locale.
- Then they are ordered as by the `compareTo()` method of
`java.lang.String`,

<<<java.lang.String>>>,

"<<<cr>>>" \< "<<<snapshot>>>" \< "" = "<<<final>>>" = "<<<ga>>>" =
"<<<release>>>" \< "<<<sp>>>"
* the "<<<alpha>>>", "<<<beta>>>" and "<<<milestone>>>" qualifiers can
respectively be shortened to "a", "b" and "m" when directly followed by a
number.
* Alphabetic tokens other than the special cases described above come
before numeric tokens.
- * Alphabetic tokens are compared in a case insensitive fashion in the
{{{https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Locale.html#ENGLISH}English
locale}}}. For example, "A" and "a" are treated the same as are "i" and "I"
and "é" and "É".

Note: Contrary to what was stated in some design documents, for version
order, snapshots are not treated differently than releases or any other
qualifier.
Note: As <<<2.0-rc1>>> \< <<<2.0>>>, the version requirement <<<[1.0,2.0)>>>
excludes <<<2.0>>> but includes version <<<2.0-rc1>>>, which is contrary to
what most people expect. In addition, Gradle interprets it differently,
resulting in different dependency trees for the same POM.
- If the intention is to restrict it to <1.*> versions, the better version
requirement is <<<[1,1.999999)>>>.
+ If the intention is to restrict it to <<<1.*>>> versions, the better version
requirement is <<<[1,1.999999]>>> or <<<[1,2-alpha)>>>.
