Hello, The current implementation for the versioning of poms is
<major>.<minor>.<revision>([-<qualifier>]|[-<build>]) I found this in following resources: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Versioning http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Extending+Maven+2.0+Dependencies Unfortunately, 3 digits isn't enough for our case. What are the pitfalls using a 4 or 5 number scheme? e.g. : <major>.<minor>.<bugfix>.<iteration>.<build> Are there any problems with Archiva? So far, I haven't seen any problems deploying or releasing components with the maven plugins. Would you recommend to use a more complicated qualifier instead? My proposition would be a version like: 1.2.3-beta-4.5 (beta-4.5 is 5. build of the 4. beta iteration. ) Thanks for your comments and sharing your experiences. Kuno
