Description

Eclipse artifacts use a date pattern in version qualifier and build fail with the following error

[INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.

Couldn't find a version in [1.0.0-v20070606] to match range [1.0.0,2.0)
  org.eclipse.equinox:app:jar:null

The following patch adds javadoc for compareTo() to be more clear.
Also, it handles date pattern in the version to allow "1.0.0" < "1.0.0-v20070606". Internally, it compares "1.0.0-19068845215" (ie new Date(Integer.MAX_VALUE, 12, 31 )) to "1.0.0-20070606"
