Michael Osipov commented on MNG-5568:
-------------------------------------
The only thing we could do is catch that exception and signal that a user
should upgrade to Maven 3.2.4 when it is released. This bug is probably worth
backporting to 3.0.6.
> ComparableVersion's breaks contract for Comparable, in some edgecases the
> comparisons are not transitive
