Allow skipping version manipulation to avoid getting the version mangled

[ikus060]

The current implementation in Utils. convert a "java" version into a "debian" version. Trying to handle alhpa, beta, release. But It doesn't cover all the scenario and we should have an option to completely skip the version mangling an keep the version of the package.

e.g.: I'm using this version 3.7.1~dev24+g1b4b40e and it get transformed into 3.7.1~dev24+g1b4~b40e.

A simple option to skip the version mangling should be added to let the users manage it own version semantic.

Manage to work around this by using a different property to inject that is not mangled by jdeb.

I'm using [[revision]] that is already injected in the build to define the version.

The mangling is clearly wrong in this case, the end of the +g1b4b40e suffix was parsed as a beta version and a ~ was inserted before the last b. I'm not sure to see how this could be avoided.

We should have a testcase that covers all those conversions. Maybe it would be good to start with a table of how conversions should look like.

To allow skipping version manipulation and avoid mangling the version during the build process in Maven, you can use the maven.buildNumber.skip property. This property instructs Maven to skip the default version manipulation, such as appending a timestamp or SCM revision, during the build.

Here's how you can configure it in your Maven pom.xml file:

<maven.buildNumber.skip>true</maven.buildNumber.skip>

By setting maven.buildNumber.skip to true, Maven will skip the default version manipulation behavior. This means that the version specified in your element will be used as is, without any additional modifications.

Make sure to place this configuration in the section of your pom.xml file. This property provides flexibility in controlling version manipulation behavior, allowing you to maintain full control over the versioning process in your Maven projects.

@inglepriyanka148867 Please don't use AI to comment. Again - this is not about the maven build number.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.
