             Summary: ComparableVersion fails with semver.org-style milestone versions
                 Key: MNG-5974
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5974
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Artifacts and Repositories
    Affects Versions: 3.3.9
            Reporter: Tuure Laurinolli


ComparableVersion does not correctly parse semver.org-style milestone versions where the "m" is separated from the milestyne number by a dot, like "1.0.0-m.3".

It seems that Maven only recognizes the "m" alias for "milestone" if it's immediately followed by a digit. I don't think this is according to the class javadoc, which does not mention that some aliases require the alias to be followed by a number to be effective.

Test case:
{code}
import org.apache.maven.artifact.versioning.ComparableVersion;
import org.junit.Test;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertTrue;
public class VersionTest {
    @Test
    public void testSortVersions() throws Exception {
        final ComparableVersion m2 = new ComparableVersion("1.2.3.m.2");
        final ComparableVersion rc1 = new ComparableVersion("1.2.3.rc.1");
        assertTrue(rc1.compareTo(m2) > 0);
    }
}
{code}
