Elliotte Rusty Harold updated MNGSITE-441:
------------------------------------------
Summary: Better define ordering of tokens in version comparison (was:
Define ordering of tokens)
> Better define ordering of tokens in version comparison
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNGSITE-441
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNGSITE-441
> Project: Maven Project Web Site
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Priority: Major
>
> On [https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Version_Order_Specification] we use the
> terms " {{lexicographical order}}" and "alphabetical order". Neither is
> defined, and they need to be.
> For example does "PPP" sort before, after, or the same as "ppp"? I don't know.
> Lexicographic order also has more than one reasonable definition:
> [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicographic_order]
> Perhaps we can simply rewrite the version order section to not use these
> terms as long as we're clear about what does happen.
