Yes, I thought it'd just be for trunk?
There were two things that occurred to me:
- anything relying on the Maven format won't work with this one and
will need to add additional handling.
- anyone relying on the string parsing might have behavioural changes
(though it would be very unusual - you'd be expecting 1.0.11.something
< 1.0.2.something)
I have to admit my thought with this was more "you could probably get
away with it", not "that'll be fine" - it would be better to support
alternate syntax's such as we'd discussed before.

I haven't yet applied it, but at first thought it seems a reasonable
change.

Hi everyone,
I'd like to make a small change to the artifact version parsing. We
currently have several released projects that use a non-standard
version scheme. So instead of something like:
1.0.1-beta-1
we have
1.0.1.beta1
This was originally done to conform to the OSGi standard which
requires a "." instead of a "-" for the qualifier. If you ask me,
the maven standard is better ;)
I created a jira issue with the attached fix here:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3526
Since this change could potentially (although I think unlikely)
break some dependency management I wanted to bring it up here to
discuss.
Thanks!
