             Summary: uv3 changing versioning to avoid potential eclipse issues
                 Key: UIMA-5265
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-5265
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Core Java Framework, Eclipse plugins
            Reporter: Marshall Schor
            Assignee: Marshall Schor
             Fix For: 3.0.0SDK-alpha


Our build toolset uses the maven build-helper plugin to convert between maven 
version conventions and OSGi conventions.  That build helper plugin converts 
1.2.3-SNAPSHOT to 1.2.3.SNAPSHOT.  The hyphen (maven convention) is converted 
to a period (Eclipse convention).  This seems to fall apart somewhat, when 
working with 1.2.3-alpha-SNAPSHOT - the coverter changes just the first hyphen 
it finds (left to right scan) to a period, giving for this example 
1.2.3.alpha-SNAPSHOT.  

There are problems with this, see 
https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/core/MAVEN/maven_version.htm#MAVEN400.

To avoid these issues, I'm renaming 3.0.0-alpha-SNAPSHOT to 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT.  
The readme and announcement will say alpha.
