maven-versions-plugin: How to ignore alpha, beta, release candidate, and milestone versions

Introduction

By default, maven does not ignore versions ending with qualifier strings when searching for the latest version of an artifact.

For example, versions ending with -alpha, -beta3, -M-2, and -RC1 will be considered as valid upgrade candidates.

Consider the case of your project having a dependency on version 3.2.1 of a certain artifact and 3.3.0-beta is released. The maven-versions-plugin will, by default, consider that to be valid upgrade.
