DefaultVersionInfo (Maven Release plugin 2.0-beta-4-SNAPSHOT API)

public class DefaultVersionInfo extends Object implements VersionInfo, Cloneable

This compares and increments versions for a common java versioning scheme.

The supported version scheme has the following parts.
component-digits-annotation-annotationRevision-buildSpecifier
Example:
my-component-1.0.1-alpha-2-SNAPSHOT

component - name of the versioned component (log4j, commons-lang, etc)
digits - Numeric digits with at least one "." period. (1.0, 1.1, 1.01, 1.2.3, etc)
annotation - Version annotation - Valid Values are (alpha, beta, RC). Use setAnnotationOrder to change the valid values.
annotationRevision - Integer qualifier for the annotation. (4 as in RC-4)
buildSpecifier - Additional specifier for build. (SNAPSHOT, or build number like "20041114.081234-2")

Digits is the only required piece of the version string, and must contain at lease one "." period.

Implementation details:
The separators "_" and "-" between components are also optional (though they are usually reccommended).
Example:
log4j-1.2.9-beta-9-SNAPSHOT == log4j1.2.9beta9SNAPSHOT == log4j_1.2.9_beta_9_SNAPSHOT

All numbers in the "digits" part of the version are considered Integers. Therefore 1.01.01 is the same as 1.1.1 Leading zeros are ignored when performing comparisons.
