------------------------------------------

             Summary: ComparableVersion doesn't specify well-known qualfiier order
                 Key: MNG-8474
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8474
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold


The Javadoc says:

strings are checked for well-known qualifiers and the qualifier ordering is used for version ordering. Well-known qualifiers (case insensitive) are:

    alpha or a
    beta or b
    milestone or m
    rc or cr
    snapshot
    (the empty string) or ga or final
    sp

However it never says twhether alpha comes before or after beta, and so forth. That is, the qualifier ordering is undefined. See
