How to represent beta versions? 1.4.0b where b
indicates beta version or GNU/Linux version whereby if
the middle digit is odd it is a beta version, otherwise
it is a stable version. To be decided

    In addition to beta versions, we will also need:
    o release candidate
    o early access

    Would it make more sense to not include the version number
    in the filename, but instead encourage authors to always
    include a main-class so that the following works:

    $ java -jar mylib.jar -version
    mylib version 0.01

    This could be achieved by reading its own xml files in the jar.
