That's a bundle identifier, such as org.apache.uima.core.
I thought we were talking about version numbers. This is
from the the OSGi javadocs:
version ::= major('.'minor('.'micro('.'qualifier)?)?)?
major ::= digit+
minor ::= digit+
micro ::= digit+
qualifier ::= (alpha|digit|'_'|'-')+
digit ::= [0..9]
alpha ::= [a..zA..Z]
So you could have 2.3.1.0-SNAPSHOT, but not 2.3.1-SNAPSHOT,
if I'm reading this right. (Where OSGi would treat 0-SNAPSHOT
as a single, unanalyzed token).
I have no problem with the maven convention, and I totally
agree we should use the same version string wherever possible.
It's just that for OSGi modules other than Eclipse, we may
have to do something special after all.
