Herve Boutemy commented on MNG-5568:
------------------------------------
yes, thak you Milos for this testcase: I still didn't have time to work on it,
but such test case is absolutely necessary to have a chance to track down the
bug
the edge case is related to the added {{H}} in {{6.1H.5-beta}}: that's the
unusual part, and I know there is some tweak in the parsing algorithm for
transforming {{1H}} into a canonical representation: IIRC, the canonical
representation is {{1-H}}
and I suppose it's coupled with the fact that {{6.1.0}} is equivalent to {{6.1}}
I'll have a look at the test case this WE to narrow the problem (can't tell if
it will be sufficient to have a fix...)
> ComparableVersion's breaks contract for Comparable, in some edgecases the
> comparisons are not transitive
