This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
This issue is more a questioning than a task. Mavenized artifact of netbeans use for release: RELEASE71,RELEASE69-BETA,RELEASE701 for snapshot: SNAPSHOT Has it been considered to use a more maven like versioning? for release: 7.1,6.9-beta,7.0.1 for non snapshot for snapshot: 7.2-SNAPSHOT Anyway thanks a lot for the maven infrastructure its very usefull and simple to use Regards Eric
Other schemes [1] have been considered but not approved. Ideally I would like the Maven version for NBMs to match the actual module version, with release labels used only for convenience POMs used in dependencyManagement. Anyway no change of this magnitude is going to made based on isolated issues in the bug tracker. Would have to be proposed on the lists, reviewed, and implemented together with apisupport and plugin changes during a full development cycle. [1] http://wiki.netbeans.org/MavenNBM4
Thanks for the pointers. Full agree on your comment, was not willing to change things.
BTW one of the problems with a scheme like "7.2-SNAPSHOT" is that it is not always known at the beginning of a release cycle what the name of the next release will be. In Bugzilla we generally just use the version "Dev" until that has been decided, but this would not work well for Maven artifacts.
