I remember seeing a regex in Gentoo forums which allowed to parse / compare version strings in pretty any common format used... an approach like this could leave the versioning scheme up to the project's needs.The first error is self explanatory. I've always planned on adding inter-module dependencies with version compatibility checking. Having consistent version numbers is important. Perhaps we need a better discussion on what a versoin number should look like and how they can be compared.
A version number like "n.n.n" would be very nice but leaves module's states (rc, beta, snapshot, and the like) out of the equation.
You were right, my apologies.Second is probably because your didn't quote your version number properly?

Version numbers should be a sequence of three numbers seperated by periods. HiveMind informs of this in the log but it does not fail and it works ok (although it's logged on ERROR level, it should be in WARN if it's gonna keep working anyway). Now if I change the version attribute to something like "1.0.0" registry construction FAILS saying: 18:10:11,571 ERROR [RegistryBuilder] Error: Unable to read descriptor jar:file:/tmp/pampa-administrador-web/tmp/deploy/tmp3595pampa-transaction-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar!/META-INF/hivemodule.sdl: Error parsing jar:file:/tmp/pampa-administrador-web/tmp/deploy/tmp3595pampa-transaction-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar!/META-INF/hivemodule.sdl: Encountered ".0" at line 4, column 61. Was expecting one of: <SIMPLE_ID> ... ")" ... Besides the bug, is there a reason to validate the format of the module's version attribute? Isn't this supposed to be dependant on project's specific versioning schema? Cheers! PiL
