             Summary: karaf-maven-plugin generates feature descriptor with unexpected snaphot version
                 Key: KARAF-5788
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-5788
             Project: Karaf
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: karaf-tooling
    Affects Versions: 4.2.0.M2, 4.1.5
            Reporter: Christian


Hello, 

I'm using the karaf-maven-plugin to generate feature descriptors but I discover that if the related bundle has a SNAPSHOT version, for example "2.0.0-SNAPSHOT" then the feature generated has a version like "2.0.0.SNAPSHOT" (take note of the dot instead of the dash). It seems that 
the plugin worked well until the R4 (karaf-maven-plugin 3.0.9 generates the version with the expected dash). 
In the plugin code, the [VersionCleaner |https://github.com/apache/felix/blob/trunk/utils/src/main/java/org/apache/felix/utils/version/VersionCleaner.java].clean() method used in the  [Feature|https://github.com/apache/karaf/blob/master/features/core/src/main/java/org/apache/karaf/features/internal/model/Feature.java].setVersion() method is responsible of the problem, the following test: 
    public static void main(String[] args) { 
        String res = VersionCleaner.clean("2.0.0-SNAPSHOT"); 
        System.out.println(res); 
    } 
displays: 
    2.0.0.SNAPSHOT 

In the [Karaf user forum|http://karaf.922171.n3.nabble.com/karaf-maven-plugin-generates-feature-descriptor-with-bad-snaphot-version-td4053313.html], Jean-Baptiste Onofré says it is a normal result because 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT is not a valid OSGi version but 2.0.0.SNAPSHOT is.

I think it will be interesting to have a new configuration property like "useRawVersion" 
(default to false) to let user choose if he wants OSGI or Maven version format.

Thanks
