[mojo-dev] [jira] (MVERSIONS-238) Older version found during "display-property-updates"

[Stephen Connolly (JIRA)]

Stephen Connolly closed MVERSIONS-238 as Not A Bug Older version found during "display-property-updates" Maven default versions have some strange rules. If a version number has three segments and all those segments are numbers and there are no leading zeros, then the versions will be compared segment by segment. If there are leading zeros in any segment then the whole version is treated as a string. If you are comparing a segment version with a string version then string versions are always older. This is insane... it is also core Maven functionality, which the versions-maven-plugin just reflects for you. Thus 2012.11.09 < 2013.01.01 < 2013.11.04 < 1.0.0 < 2.0.0 < 2000.10.10 < 2012.11.10 < 2013.11.10 the moral of the story is to understand what the insane Maven version rules are and adapt accordingly Change By: Stephen Connolly (12/Dec/13 6:51 AM) Resolution: Not A Bug Status: Open Closed
