I think this is a good idea.

My main objection to that is then there's no way to say "1.1 only".
We would have to call 1.1 "1.1.0" so that "1.1" and "1.1.*" would be
different. Or, I suppose, change your patch to gerVersion.length()-1
and encourage "1.1*" not "1.1.*"
I guess my code was bad. My intention was you could call out
specific versions. Here is a table of what I wanted to happen:
Input Version Range
----- -------------
1.1 1.1
1.1.* [1.1-1.2)
1.1.1 1.1.1
1.1.1.* [1.1.1-1.1.2)
and here is the code I posted for those that don't wan to read back
in the thread:
if (version.equals(gerVersion) ||
(gerVersion.endsWith(".*" &&
version.startsWith(gerVersion.substring(0, gerVersion.length
() - 2))) {
With that if statement, the "glob" part of the match only executes
if the version ended with ".*" otherwise it must be an exact match.
