How to use 5 digit version numbers with Maven ?

We need to use 5 digit version numbers going forward.  Maven only handles 3
digit version numbers
using the versions-maven-plugin.  Is there a way to use 5 digits for
project.version ?

What we want to do is use 1.2.3.4.5-SNAPSHOT vs 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT and
1.2.3.4.5 vs 1.2.3 after
the release.



cheers,

Like many more advanced Maven scenarios, the documentation is sketchy at best.  Here is an example version rules xml file

<ruleset comparisonMethod="maven"
             xmlns="http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/rule/2.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                      xsi:schemaLocation="http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/rule/2.0.0 http://mojo.codehaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/xsd/rule-2.0.0.xsd">
    <rules>
        <rule groupId="com.foo.bar" comparisonMethod="mercury"/>
        <rule groupId="foo.xyz" comparisonMethod="maven"/>
   </rules>
</ruleset>

Is there documentation on the mercury scheme ?  I tried following the link at http://www.mojohaus.org/versions-maven-plugin/version-rules.html, but that just gives me a "Page Not Found".

Yes, you can use the Mercury version numbering scheme for artifacts having the 5 digit version number.  Create a version rules XML file that specifies which artifacts use Mercury and which artifacts use Maven version schemes.  Pass the file using the versions plugin's rulesUri or -Dmaven.version.rules...

Re: How to use 5 digit version numbers with Maven ?

Posted by Hervé BOUTEMY <he...@free.fr>.
in fact, the way the issue is described is misleading:
"How to use 5 digit version numbers with Maven ?" and
"Maven only handles 3 digit version numbers using the versions-maven-plugin"

it should be phrased:
"How to use 5 digit version numbers with versions-maven-plugin?" and
"versions-maven-plugin only handles 3 digit version numbers"


because Maven itself has no limitation on digits: like Karl Heinz pointed out, 
there was a limitation in Maven 2, but it was removed in Maven 3 with 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVENOLD/Versioning


and FYI, Maven itself does only comparison on versions, no updates

Plugins can do a lot of different things, and multiple plugins propose to 
update version: the most known being maven-release-plugin (from Apache Maven 
team) and versions-maven-plugin (from MojoHaus team)


Regards,

Hervé
(who worked hard a few yeas ago on removing the limitation in Maven 3 :) )

where is this documented ?

which is simply not true.....

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVENOLD/Versioning

Since Maven 3 you can use as many version numbers as you like...

You should simply use it....cause it works...


Furthermore if you use Maven 3.2.5+ you can check the behaviour on 
command line via: (You have to change the maven-artifact-VERSION.jar 
accordingly to your Maven installation) this small CLI app which is
included in your maven distribution:

~$ java -jar /usr/share/maven/lib/maven-artifact-3.2.5.jar 
1.0.2.5-SNAPSHOT 1.0.2.6-SNAPSHOT
Display parameters as parsed by Maven (in canonical form) and comparison 
result:
1. 1.0.2.5-SNAPSHOT == 1.0.2.5-snapshot
    1.0.2.5-SNAPSHOT < 1.0.2.6-SNAPSHOT
2. 1.0.2.6-SNAPSHOT == 1.0.2.6-snapshot
~$ java -jar /usr/share/maven/lib/maven-artifact-3.2.5.jar 
1.0.2.5.0.0-SNAPSHOT 1.0.2.6.0.0-SNAPSHOT
Display parameters as parsed by Maven (in canonical form) and comparison 
result:
1. 1.0.2.5.0.0-SNAPSHOT == 1.0.2.5-snapshot
    1.0.2.5.0.0-SNAPSHOT < 1.0.2.6.0.0-SNAPSHOT
2. 1.0.2.6.0.0-SNAPSHOT == 1.0.2.6-snapshot
~$ java -jar /usr/share/maven/lib/maven-artifact-3.2.5.jar 
1.0.2.5.10.0-SNAPSHOT 1.0.2.6.0.0-SNAPSHOT
Display parameters as parsed by Maven (in canonical form) and comparison 
result:
1. 1.0.2.5.10.0-SNAPSHOT == 1.0.2.5.10-snapshot
    1.0.2.5.10.0-SNAPSHOT < 1.0.2.6.0.0-SNAPSHOT
2. 1.0.2.6.0.0-SNAPSHOT == 1.0.2.6-snapshot
~$ java -jar /usr/share/maven/lib/maven-artifact-3.2.5.jar 
1.0.2.5.100.0-SNAPSHOT 1.0.2.6.0.0-SNAPSHOT
Display parameters as parsed by Maven (in canonical form) and comparison 
result:
1. 1.0.2.5.100.0-SNAPSHOT == 1.0.2.5.100-snapshot
    1.0.2.5.100.0-SNAPSHOT < 1.0.2.6.0.0-SNAPSHOT
