@daiscog:谢谢你的评论，这段代码是为Android平台开发的，由谷歌推荐，方法“匹配”检查整个字符串，不像Java使用监管模式。(Android文档- JAVA文档)

此代码尝试解决这种类型的比较版本。

大多数版本说明符，如>= 1.0，都是不言自明的。的 说明符~>具有特殊含义，最好通过示例来说明。~> 2.0.3是 与>= 2.0.3和< 2.1相同。~> 2.1与>= 2.1相同，且< 3.0.

我写了一个名为MgntUtils的开源库，它有一个用于字符串版本的实用程序。它正确地比较它们，适用于版本范围等等。下面是这个库javadoc参见方法TextUtils.comapreVersions(…)它已经被大量使用并经过了良好的测试。下面这篇文章描述了这个库以及如何获取它。它可以作为Maven工件和在github上获得(包括源代码和JavaDoc)

public int CompareVersions(String version1, String version2)
{
    String[] string1Vals = version1.split("\\.");
    String[] string2Vals = version2.split("\\.");

    int length = Math.max(string1Vals.length, string2Vals.length);

    for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
    {
        Integer v1 = (i < string1Vals.length)?Integer.parseInt(string1Vals[i]):0;
        Integer v2 = (i < string2Vals.length)?Integer.parseInt(string2Vals[i]):0;

        //Making sure Version1 bigger than version2
        if (v1 > v2)
        {
            return 1;
        }
        //Making sure Version1 smaller than version2
        else if(v1 < v2)
        {
            return -1;
        }
    }

    //Both are equal
    return 0;
}

使用Maven真的很简单:

import org.apache.maven.artifact.versioning.DefaultArtifactVersion;

DefaultArtifactVersion minVersion = new DefaultArtifactVersion("1.0.1");
DefaultArtifactVersion maxVersion = new DefaultArtifactVersion("1.10");

DefaultArtifactVersion version = new DefaultArtifactVersion("1.11");

if (version.compareTo(minVersion) < 0 || version.compareTo(maxVersion) > 0) {
    System.out.println("Sorry, your version is unsupported");
}

您可以从这个页面获得Maven Artifact的正确依赖项字符串:

<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-artifact</artifactId>
<version>3.0.3</version>
