Looking at <http://java.sun.com/j2se/versioning_naming.html>, it looks 
like
jakarta is wrong here, in fact it was not wrong, a beta from Sun would 
not be able
to run jakarta at all.

▪ 	A separator is always used between different parts of the string so 
that ordering can be determined programmically. (For example, a version 
string of "1.3.1beta" is not acceptable. A version string of 
"1.3.1-beta" is acceptable.)


Thanks,
