Description

Steps to reproduce:
1) Build any SNAPSHOT-version of a war or ear with the configuration shown here to add implementation- and Specification-Version to the archives metadata:
http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-archiver/examples/manifest.html
The added Version-String looks like 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT !

2) Deploy this archive in Weblogic 12.x
This results in weblogic not deploying the archive and throwing the following errors:

BEA-160142: The library at {0} has an illegal Specification-Version: {1}. The Specification-Version must be a valid version string: int(.int)*, int >=0; for example: 2.1.1
    Cause: The Specification-Version for the library at {0} cannot be parsed.
    Action: Fix the library Specification-Version to conform to the required version string syntax.

    Level: 1

    Type: ERROR

    Impact: J2EE

BEA-160143: Library {0} has an illegal Specification-Version: {1}. The Specification-Version must be a valid version string: int(.int)*, int >=0. For example: 2.1.1.
    Cause: The library cannot be statically deployed because its MBean has an invalid Specification-Version.
    Action: Undeploy the library and deploy it again with a correct Specification-Version.

    Level: 1

    Type: ERROR

    Impact: J2EE

Proposed solution:
Omit the "-SNAPSHOT" String in the version metadata

Alternative solution:
Replace "-SNAPSHOT" with ".TIMESTAMP", where TIMESTAMP consists only of positive integers.
