After trying this plugin on some more projects I have found that
NumericVersionComparator seems to do a better overall job than
MavenVersionComparator. See hsqldb in the example below for an odd
result using the default comparisonMethod.

[INFO] The following dependency updates are available:
[INFO]   commons-lang:commons-lang .......................... 2.1 -> 2.4
[INFO]   hsqldb:hsqldb ............................ 1.8.0.1 -> 1.7.2-rc1

Any chance of using "numeric" as the default method instead?


I'll add a JIRA project for this plugin and update the POM when I'm done.
