This is not a valid Maven version. Valid version should be <major>.<minor>.<patch><qualifier> where major/minor/patch are numerics
It's still acceptable but it reduces all comparisons to pure string compares. As it's not the default style for Maven I agree we should avoid it then.
We'd probably better follow "plug&pray" development style and go ahead with jre6/jre7/jre8 then.
Yes I guess we don't really have much other choice besides complicating things quite a bit with separate dependencies for the API itself (and/or separate artifacts per JDK).
We should add a note to the README about this as well. I'm sure someone will eventually run into the issue of a dependency specifying a newer driver version with a lower JDK. Would be nice to have it documented somewhere that the solution is to make sure the top level Maven project specifies the latest version for the desired JDK version.
