Vijay Dharap created MNG-5517:
---------------------------------
Summary: Supporting semver like syntax for <version> tag
Key: MNG-5517
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5517
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Dependencies, POM
Reporter: Vijay Dharap
Priority: Minor
node js and its corresponding package manager - npm - follows semvar notation
to depict the dependencies.
The supported syntax variations for version specification can be seen here.

I find their syntax to be much more intuitive and subsequently user friendly
than what is followed in current maven dependency <version> tag
(http://books.sonatype.com/mvnref-book/reference/pom-relationships-sect-project-dependencies.html#pom-relationships-sect-version-ranges).
Hope we can make the pom xml little more user friendly by adapting similar
version specification syntax.
