All Implemented Interfaces:

Formattable, java.lang.Comparable<PreReleaseIdentifier>

Direct Known Subclasses:

PreReleaseIdentifier.AlphaNumericalPreReleaseIdentifier, PreReleaseIdentifier.NumericalPreReleaseIdentifier
```
public abstract class PreReleaseIdentifier
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Comparable<PreReleaseIdentifier>, Formattable
```
This class represents a pre-release identifier. There are only two implementations: PreReleaseIdentifier.NumericalPreReleaseIdentifier and PreReleaseIdentifier.AlphaNumericalPreReleaseIdentifier.
Note: this class has a natural ordering that is inconsistent with equals.
