Ah. Well. Most libraries (think Jakarta commons) have a spec side and
an implementation side. According to the spec, we would need
something like 1.2.3-4567. The spec suggests, but does not limit to,
a build number for the implementation identification. There is no
problem with the major.minor.micro scheme for the spec version, but
an overly restrictive Maven standard might rule out having 2 separate
parts. I just wanted to say that Maven should look out for that (I do
know that most important libs in the wild don't follow the standard,
but that's something different -- eclipse is a bit cleaner than
Apache in that respect).

From the spec:
A version string is a series of positive numbers separated by periods.
The numbers are compared component by component from left to right. If
any number is greater than the corresponding number of the supplied
string the method returns true. If the number is less than it returns
false. If the corresponding numbers are equal the next number is
examined.
That shouldn't be a problem...

I believe that Maven version number support should at least make it
possible to apply the specification / implementation version
