Kenney started a proposal http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Versioning with a implementation of a comparator.
I took his implementation, updated it to support comparison between more version schemes and integrated it to DefaultArtifactVersion class. The code is here http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/artifact/branches/MNG-3010/, with unit test showing version schemes in action: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/artifact/branches/MNG-3010/src/test/java/org/apache/maven/artifact/versioning/ComparableVersionTest.java I think the new ordering will give better results than the current one and would like to merge it to artifact trunk and 2.0.x branch. Before doing so, I submit the code for review: any comments? regards, Hervé --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
