Description

If a / character is accidentally put into a version string it can cause some weird results. Maven installs and deploys some nameless (.jar, -sources.jar, etc) files without an error messages. This can be a bit tricky to track down, so it would be better if Maven did some validation on the version string to prevent the '/' character or other invalid characters.
