[MNG-6096] Deprecate DefaultArtifactVersion class

[jira-importer]

Karl Heinz Marbaise opened MNG-6096 and commented

The DefaultArtifactVersion class parses the version of the artifacts but in many situations it does not work correctly.

Furthermore based on the references and hints given here:

Maven 3.4.0 has been dropped. See this thread for more details.

This issue will need to be re-scheduled for a Maven release in the (hopefully near) future.

This looks like a trivial change to reschedule; what's the long-term story here? Is the alternative ComparableVersion?

DefaultArtifactVersion is still used throughout Maven:

maven-artifact/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/artifact/DefaultArtifact.java
maven-artifact/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/artifact/versioning/VersionRange.java
maven-compat/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/execution/DefaultRuntimeInformation.java
maven-compat/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/profiles/activation/JdkPrefixProfileActivator.java
maven-compat/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/repository/metadata/DefaultGraphConflictResolutionPolicy.java
maven-core/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/project/artifact/MavenMetadataSource.java
maven-core/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/toolchain/RequirementMatcherFactory.java
maven-model-builder/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/model/building/DefaultModelBuilder.java

and, with DefaultVersion used in API, it doesn't seem like it's possible to remove it without either breaking API or providing a new concrete implementation.
