[jira] Created: (MRM-964) Method isVersion() for validating an uploaded artifact version is open to criticism

Method isVersion() for validating an uploaded artifact version is open to criticism
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MRM-964
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRM-964
             Project: Archiva
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: web application
    Affects Versions: 1.1.2
         Environment: Client: Windows XP SP3, Firefox 3.0.3
Server: Linux Red Hat AS 4.0
            Reporter: Vincent Thévenin
            Priority: Critical


When uploading an artifact, a validation is made against the 'version' field.
The validation occurs in file $SRC/archiva-modules/archiva-base/archiva-common/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/archiva/common/utils/VersionUtil.java.

I think such a validation algorithm can be discussed, as it does not let the user free to use its own versioning system. Actually, Maven itself does not seem to restrict the string pattern for the version of an artifact (even if the version ranging may not work), so why restricting it at Archiva level?
There are cases where you cannot comply with imposed validation method, and where the change of the version system is not permitted for various reasons. The result is you cannot install the artifact using Archiva.
