I suppose that depends on who's best practices they are, which best practices they are, and how important they are. I'd really hate to put an issue like the format of a release number on the same par as doing a release without running the tests.
Quite frankly, the "version starting with a letter" approach may possibly be superior to the current Maven approach (I don't know if it is, but it might be) . If Maven is going to continue to be accepted by businesses that will allow open-source software, there is going to have to be some flexibility. On 3/2/07, Wayne Fay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I don't know if I entirely agree with that. Maven is not just a tool to help you compile and build your Java projects -- it also "gently" enforces a collection of best practices for building Java projects. It seems like your "version starting with a letter" does not meet Maven's concept of "best practice in version naming", and so you're running into some troubles. In all likelihood, if that feature does not exist it is simply because no one has asked for it or the priority for the feature was low enough that it simply wasn't done yet. Personally, I would be pragmatic about this and just adopt the Maven-style versioning so that release would work properly. Or you could hack the release plugin code, add this functionality, and contribute it back via JIRA as an enhancement.
