Tamas Cservenak commented on MNG-8474:
--------------------------------------
Maven maven-artifact versioning is reimplemented in maven-resolver-util (was
since Maven 3.0, with introduction of Resolver/Aether). The maven-artifact
codebase is buggy and should be avoided to be used.
> ComparableVersion doesn't specify well-known qualfiier order

> Key: MNG-8474
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8474
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Priority: Major
>
> The Javadoc says:
> strings are checked for well-known qualifiers and the qualifier ordering is
> used for version ordering. Well-known qualifiers (case insensitive) are:
> alpha or a
> beta or b
> milestone or m
> rc or cr
> snapshot
> (the empty string) or ga or final
> sp
> However it never says twhether alpha comes before or after beta, and so
> forth. That is, the qualifier ordering is undefined. See
> https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.9.9/maven-artifact/apidocs/org/apache/maven/artifact/versioning/ComparableVersion.html
