Generic implementation of version comparison.

Features:
  • mixing of '-' (hyphen) and '.' (dot) separators,
  • transition between characters and digits also constitutes a separator: 1.0alpha1 => [1, 0, alpha, 1]
  • unlimited number of version components,
  • version components in the text can be digits or strings,
  • 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
    Unknown qualifiers are considered after known qualifiers, with lexical order (always case insensitive),
  • a hyphen usually precedes a qualifier, and is always less important than something preceded with a dot.

Returns a comparable value for a qualifier. This method takes into account the ordering of known qualifiers then unknown qualifiers with lexical ordering. just returning an Integer with the index here is faster, but requires a lot of if/then/else to check for -1 or QUALIFIERS.size and then resort to lexical ordering. Most comparisons are decided by the first character, so this is still fast. If more characters are needed then it requires a lexical sort anyway.

Main to test version parsing and comparison.

To check how "1.2.7" compares to "1.2-SNAPSHOT", for example, you can issue

java -jar ${maven.repo.local}/org/apache/maven/maven-artifact/${maven.version}/maven-artifact-${maven.version}.jar "1.2.7" "1.2-SNAPSHOT"
command to command line. Result of given command will be something like this:
Display parameters as parsed by Maven (in canonical form) and comparison result:
1. 1.2.7 == 1.2.7
   1.2.7 > 1.2-SNAPSHOT
2. 1.2-SNAPSHOT == 1.2-snapshot
Params:
  • args – the version strings to parse and compare. You can pass arbitrary number of version strings and always two adjacent will be compared
