I'm not so sure. Lots of interesting stuff to configure for these
bundle puppies. Tooling can definitely help. However, I also had the
argument that it's just plain bad form; granted this definitely falls
into the grey realm of bike sheds.
Yep.
To me, this is akin to maven version numbers. Version numbers are not
broken out into their individual elements, instead it is just
accepted that there is internal syntax which can be parsed and
certain pieces mean certain things, like SNAPSHOT.
I think that you would be hard pressed to find many more examples like
this and I would be quick to point out that the lexicon applies across
the board for *all* maven POMs.
Point taken.
Perhaps we have others with viewpoints on this?
