Improve default support for version schemes
The current implementation for version schemes is rather limited. It only supports 5 properties:
...
- It only supports the following schemes:
- 'positiveInteger-buildnumber' where buildnumber doesn't start with '0' and has to be
- 'positiveinteger-qualifier'
- positiveInteger(.positiveInteger(.positiveInteger))-(buildNr|qualifier)
- Inconsistent/unintuitive parsing:
Wiki Markup in something-X, where X is \[1..9\], X will be a buildnumber
- in something-0X, where X is any string, '0X' will be a qualifier
- something.0something will yield 0.0.0.0-something.0something
- something.NaN will also yield 0.0.0.0-something.NaN
- getBuildNumber returns '0' when no buildnumber is specified, yet you can never specify 0 as a buildnumber
- qualifiers are sorted lexically
- if a qualifier is a prefix of another, the shorter one is considered newer (example:'1.0-alpha10' is considered older than '1.0-alpha1')
The unit tests that are there to test comparison only check for a few cases with snapshots. When all tests
(version A < version B) are expanded to also test for SNAPSHOTs (version A-SNAPSHOT < version B-SNAPSHOT) a
lot of the tests fail.

As an example here's an XSD you could use to describe versions:
| No Format |
|---|
<xs:schema>
<xs:element name="versionSchemeDefinition">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<!-- the order of qualifierDefinitions is from oldest to newest -->
<xs:element ref="qualifierDefinition" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
<xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0">
<xs:element ref="stringComponent"/>
<xs:element ref="numberComponent"/>
<xs:element ref="subComponent"/>
</xs:choice>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="qualifierDefinition">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:attribute name="caseSensitive" type="xs:boolean" default="false"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="stringComponent">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:attribute name="prefix" type="xs:string" default="."/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="numberComponent" type="xs:int">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:attribute name="prefix" type="xs:string" default="."/>
<xs:attribute name="optional" type="xs:boolean" default="false"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="subComponent">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0">
<xs:element ref="stringComponent"/>
<xs:element ref="numberComponent"/>
<xs:element ref="subComponent"/>
</xs:choice>
<xs:attribute name="name" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:attribute name="prefix" type="xs:string" default="-"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
