             Summary: ComparableVersion vs versions with custom qualifiers
                 Key: MNG-7559
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7559
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.8.3
            Reporter: Andrzej Jarmoniuk


Since I know that ComparableVersion was brought to Maven from versions-maven-plugin, it turns out the bug described here:

https://github.com/mojohaus/versions-maven-plugin/issues/744

also exists in maven, at least in 3.8.3.

According to the maven version spec, versions containing a qualifier should be treated as less major than the same versions without the qualifier. 

Currently it's only the case for a few "standard" qualifiers, e.g. "-rc*", "-alpha", etc.

However, it looks like "2.3-pfd" is deemed as less major than "2.3".

```java
    @Test
    public void testComparableVersionWithCustomQualifier()
    {
        assertThat( new ComparableVersion( "2.3" ).compareTo( new ComparableVersion( "2.3-pfd" ) ),
                greaterThan( 0 ) );
    }
```
