Hi,
http://help.eclipse.org/kepler/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.emf.cdo.releng.version.doc%2Fhtml%2Fguide%2FUnderstanding.html
At this link it tells about Version Management Tool,
"Unfortunately there's nothing to help manage the micro segment, also referred to as the service segment; its correct management is quite complex. This is where the Version Management Tool, also referred to as the version manager, helps fill the void."
I want to version the plugins in manifest file by the help of eclipse. I learned there is Eclipse PDE API Tooling but it helps for only exported packages at Runtime tab of plugins. How do you version the plugins in eclipse 'by hand' or do you use Eclipse PDE API Tools like tool?
Do you have any idea about this tool and how to deal with service segment ? How is this done in eclipse plugins ?
How can I use Oomph Version Management for versioning my plugins ?

Different approaches are used. Some people just increment the minor
version of all bundles at the start of a new development cycle. Others
use API tools, but it's slow and a long of work. It's good for managing
major and minor version numbers and for ensuring binary compatibility.

No, not even for EMF. I'm just very careful what I change...

Yes it helps me make sure I increment the minor version when I make a
change, and to ensure that this increment bubbles up to all features the
contain the bundles.

Yes, you can add the version management nature via the Configure of the
context menu. The basic idea is that it computes a digest as well as
version information in at the start of a development cycle. So if you
change the content, it knows the version service must be incremented;
generally I change the minor version instead in the master branch and
the service version in the maintenance branch.

I really don't have the capacity to provide all the help that I think
will be necessary. :-(

Lots do, and then forget, or use brute force approaches (increment all
minor versions).
