1.2 is newer than 1.2-beta. The first part is wrong. A version without
qualifier is newer.
Mergere is responsible for the book, there should be information on
where to submit errata somewhere at the front. (Mentioning it here
isn't going to get it fixed.)

-SNAPSHOT is newer, which is strange. How is this supposed to work?
That makes sense to me. Maven thinks -INTERNAL is a *fixed* version.
It's no different than 1.2 or 1.3-beta. It's just some version,
deployed at some point in the past. The -SNAPSHOT version is "the
latest".
