maven_version ';' MAVEN-VERSION

Summary

Convert a Maven-style version string to OSGi version format. Note: Use version_cleanup instead, which can be used in more contexts.

Syntax

${maven_version;<version>}

Parameters

• version: Maven version string to convert to OSGi format

Behavior

This macro is deprecated in favor of version_cleanup.

Converts Maven version formats (which may use hyphens) to OSGi version format (which uses dots):

• Replaces hyphens with dots in the qualifier
• Ensures the version follows OSGi’s major.minor.micro.qualifier structure

For example: 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT becomes 1.2.3.SNAPSHOT

Examples

# Convert Maven version
${maven_version;1.2.3-SNAPSHOT}
# Returns: 1.2.3.SNAPSHOT

# In Bundle-Version
Bundle-Version: ${maven_version;${project.version}}

# However, prefer version_cleanup:
Bundle-Version: ${version_cleanup;${project.version}}

Deprecation Note

This macro should not be used in new code. Use version_cleanup instead because:

• version_cleanup can be used in more contexts (not just Builder)
• version_cleanup handles more edge cases and version formats
• version_cleanup is the recommended approach going forward

Related Macros

• version_cleanup - Preferred alternative with broader applicability
• versionmask - Transform versions using templates
• version - Alias for versionmask
