How to use 5 digit version numbers with Maven ?

[Mehul Sanghvi]

We need to use 5 digit version numbers going forward.  Maven only handles 3
digit version numbers
using the versions-maven-plugin.  Is there a way to use 5 digits for
project.version ?

What we want to do is use 1.2.3.4.5-SNAPSHOT vs 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT and
1.2.3.4.5 vs 1.2.3 after
the release.



cheers,
