Christian Schulte updated MNG-5517:
-----------------------------------
Labels: close-pending (was: )
> Supporting semver like syntax for <version> tag
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-5517
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5517
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Dependencies, FDPFC, POM
> Reporter: Vijay Dharap
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: close-pending
> Fix For: Issues to be reviewed for 4.x
>
>
> node js and its corresponding package manager - npm - follows semvar notation
> to depict the dependencies.
> The supported syntax variations for version specification can be seen here.
> https://github.com/isaacs/node-semver#ranges
> I find their syntax to be much more intuitive and subsequently user friendly
> than what is followed in current maven dependency <version> tag
> (http://books.sonatype.com/mvnref-book/reference/pom-relationships-sect-project-dependencies.html#pom-relationships-sect-version-ranges).
> Hope we can make the pom xml little more user friendly by adapting similar
> version specification syntax.
