Project version (pom.xml), package version and bundle version

[daniel_henriqu1]

Hi, everybody.

In a project structure created using Adobe Maven Archetype or Marketing Cloud Maven Archetype, can I use "anything" as the project version of my POMs?
Or some values may lead to inconsistencies in the Package Manager and/or in the OSGI installer?

I mean, are all the following valid values?

• 1.0
• 1.0.0
• 1.0.0.0
• 1.0.0.0.0
• 1.0.0alpha
• 1.0.0-alpha
• 1.0-SNAPSHOT
• 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
• 1.0.0.0-SNAPSHOT
• 1.0-beta-SNAPSHOT
• 1.0_beta-SNAPSHOT
• 1.0.0.0-alpha1-rc3-SNAPSHOT
• 1.0.0.0_alpha1_rc3-SNAPSHOT

Will they all work as project version, package version (META-INF/vault/properties.xml) and bundle version (META-INF/MANIFEST.MF) as well?
Despite the special use of the "-SNAPSHOT" suffix, am I allowed to use any sequence of [a-zA-Z0-9.-_] as version, without negatively affecting the installation process?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Daniel.

See attached a screenshot from /system/console/bundles, as you can there is a variety of version-formats.

Great idea, Feike!

Applying the same principle to JCR packages (using Query Builder Tool and Query Builder Debugger), I've been able to check the whole variety of version numbers used in my current AEM installation.

Some examples:

• 0.0.10
• 0.0.12-CQ620-B0002
• 0.0.22
• 0.0.78-CQ620-B0001
• 0.0.8
• (...)

Thank you!
