> I must honestly admit that I feel a lot of pain in my ass with this class
because:
>
> * There are too many implications
> * No explicit ordering
> * No explicit statement/code what is _before_ GA and _after_.
>
> Edge case: `1.0-a` (alpha) < `1.0` < `1.0-abc` since the qualifier `abc`
is not an alpha.
>
> I think this needs to be split up again. Let's first focus on the `.`
(dot) and `-` (hyphen) issue. From my PoV the PR addresses several issues which
does not feel right.
this can be split into two PRs if needed.
the ordering is dispatched into specific locations:
* private static final List<String> QUALIFIERS = Arrays.asList("snapshot",
"", "sp");
* public static String comparableQualifier(String qualifier)
* public static int compareQualifiers(String qualifier1, String qualifier2)
but the very fact its separated so far from each other might suggest a
different approach
