Re: [jakarta.ee-community] version numbers and release qualifiers

Yes.  And, the
plugin normalizes the lower/uppercase comparisons, so "rc1 == RC1".
 Move forward...  :-)

Hi,

As _expression_ Language used "-RC1",
and we said here we just pick one, I guess that is the one to use going
forward?

See https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/jakarta/el/jakarta.el-api/4.0.0-RC1/

Kind regards,
Arjan

that not only because they pay sometimes higher fees, but also because
they have a large customer base also voiced their practices and preferences,
so it isn't just individuals like us.

use Jakarta EE dependencies, or how do they deal with the fact that they
need a non-Jakarta EE dependency and that one uses a different case… ?
Come on, this argument is not meant serous, right? ;-)

Ok so it's case-sensitive? (leaving aside
some file systems especially on Windows aren't and you usually do find "4.13-rc-2"
even if it's named "4.13-RC-2"  at least on an OS level)
 
That's a strong case for consistency,
especially within a particular project or better the entire platform.
Maven may accept  "4.13-rc-2"
> "4.13-RC-1" but if you try to download it or enter into
your POM it does make a difference and a project that deviates from an
otherwise consistent naming pattern would be quite error-prone.
 
Thanks,
Werner

Just for completeness.
Users have to use *exactly* the case used to release artifact, as
maven cares. For example, to depend on
https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/junit/junit/4.13-rc-2/,
one has
to use version "4.13-rc-2". Up-cased "4.13-RC-2" version
would not be
found.
Case is ignored for version ordering.
