Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-4150:
-------------------------------------

Right, i think its correct now. If someone builds a snapshot, they get 
4.0-SNAPSHOT.

to make an alpha release we use -Dversion=4.0-ALPHA.

About jira, after we release i do think we should make the version in JIRA so 
people
can report bugs against it. But I don't think we should do that now (or people 
will get
confused about what version to terget things).

The only trick here for alpha/beta is the internal number LUCENE_MAIN_VERSION 
used
by IndexWriter only internally must be bumped after alpha to 4.0.0.1 or 
something,
so that we know which exact version of lucene wrote the segment. it must be a 
number
so that various comparators etc work. but thats totally internal to indexwriter 
and 
no users see it.
