-----------------------------
Summary: Add "dev" string item into ComparableVersion
Key: MNG-6064
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6064
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Artifacts and Repositories
Affects Versions: 3.3.9
Environment: Any operating Systems
Reporter: Hui Wang
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 3.3.9
We're using a popular Gradle plugin "gradle-git" ( from Andrew Oberstar ) to
implement Semantic Versioning with Continuous Deployment. There's a strategy
supported by gradle-git that defines a "dev" stage when we have something
uncommitted on a developer branch, which is very useful. Some examples to
demonstrate the "dev" scenario can be found here:
https://github.com/ajoberstar/gradle-git/wiki/Release%20Plugins#how-do-i-use-the-opinion-plugin
However, current version of
org.apache.maven.artifact.versioning.ComparableVersion does not support "dev"
stage since there's no item "dev" in the field _QUALIFIERS of nested class
StringItem. And since this is a private static final field, it is not able to
be overwritten by inheritance. Can we add the "dev" item into _QUALIFIERS ?
