A word about Versioning

What version should we use?

Well – think no further – others have done that already – and some sort of a convention exists:

• Apache APR (Portable Runtime Project)
  mainly suggesting major.minor.patch 
  I think the schema used by maven is based on this
• Maven Versioning
  mainly using major.minor.bugfix-qualifier-buildnumber 
  The version parsing changed a few times. There are plugins that help you with versions as well. For ex the versions-maven-plugin, also hosts some information on maven version rules too.
• Semantic Versioning
  mainly suggesting major.minor.patch
• The eclipse foundation also uses a similar way
  mainly suggesting: major.minor.service
  The eclipse wiki shows some rules how they decide what to do. There is also an article comparing the eclipse versioning to the semantic versioning.
