> The implementation of Comparable.compareTo(Object) is faulty regarding the handling of version numbers where a build number is present but zero.  Here's a unit test to demonstrate:
>         DefaultArtifactVersion v1 = new DefaultArtifactVersion("2.0");
>         DefaultArtifactVersion v2 = new DefaultArtifactVersion("2.0-0");
>         DefaultArtifactVersion v3 = new DefaultArtifactVersion("2.0-alpha1");
>         
>         // v1 and v2 are equal
>         assertTrue( v1.compareTo(v2) == 0 );
>         assertTrue( v2.compareTo(v1) == 0 );
>         
>         // v1 is newer than v3
>         assertTrue( v1.compareTo(v3) > 0 );
>         assertTrue( v3.compareTo(v1) < 0 );
>         
>         // ergo, v2 should also be newer than v3
>         assertTrue( v2.compareTo(v3) > 0 );  // FAILS!! returns 0 (equal)
>         assertTrue( v3.compareTo(v1) < 0 );  // succeeds
> This test demonstrates this behavior violates symmetry and transitivity.
> Luckily, the fix is easy.  A small change to the compareTo method to consider qualifiers before build numbers relieves this issue.  I have a patch that I'll submit as soon as I have the issue number.
