Guillaume Nodet commented on MNG-8474:
--------------------------------------
The official version for the new API is {{org.apache.maven.api.Version}}.
We should:
* port {{ComparableVersionTest}} to test the versions created by the
{{org.apache.maven.internal.impl.DefaultVersionParser}}
* add some javadoc
However, this is currently pluggable if an extension provides a different of
{{org.eclipse.aether.version.VersionScheme}}, so we can document the default
behavior, but this is only a default behavior...
> 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
