Karl Heinz Marbaise commented on MNG-6064:
------------------------------------------
Ok let us think about that: The results you have defined as what you expected:
{code}
1.0.1 > 1.0.1-dev.2+5612df0
1.0.1 > 1.0.1-beta
{code}
What is the result of:
{code}
1.0.1-dev.2+5612df0 ? 1.0.1-beta
{code}
Who should be the newer/older version ?
If a version is under development this means it is a {{SNAPSHOT}} in Maven
conventions...From Maven perspective all versions you've mentioned are releases.
Furthermore the versions you have mentioned {{1.0.1-dev.1.uncommit+5612df0}}
and {{1.0.1-dev.2.uncommit+3e7u598}} so comparing those versions:
{code}
~$ java -jar /usr/share/java/apache-maven-3.3.9/lib/maven-artifact-3.3.9.jar
1.0.1-dev.1.uncommit+5612df0 1.0.1-dev.2.uncommit+3e7u598
Display parameters as parsed by Maven (in canonical form) and comparison result:
1. 1.0.1-dev.1.uncommit+5612df0 == 1.0.1-dev.1.uncommit+-5612-df
1.0.1-dev.1.uncommit+5612df0 < 1.0.1-dev.2.uncommit+3e7u598
2. 1.0.1-dev.2.uncommit+3e7u598 == 1.0.1-dev.2.uncommit+-3-e-7-u-598
{code}
Apart from that what I don't understand you are referencing gradle plugins and
would like to change Maven? Furthermore what I don't understand is your
scenario with the database and the Comparable Version class? Are you using it
directly ? or via Maven ?
> Add "dev" string item into ComparableVersion

> Key: MNG-6064
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6064
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Artifacts and Repositories
> Affects Versions: 3.3.9
> Environment: Any operating Systems
> Reporter: Hui Wang
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: maven
> Original Estimate: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0.5h

> 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 ?
