Re: [che-dev] Che plugin version numbers for VS Code extensions

[Mario <mario.loriedo@xxxxxxxxx>]

 

1. When we use multiple VS Code extension in the same Che extension (as with Java, Java Debug)

That's the hardest one. That's a bundle of extensions and should have it's own, distinct, version. I don't think we have other options here

 

2. When we need to update the Che 7 plugin, but not the VS Code extensions (think an updated sidecar image)

A practical way to solve this would be to use <vscode-ext-version>-<sidecar-image-version>

 

3. When we do not refer to a fixed version of a VS Code extensions (implicitly "latest".

Can we refer to the latest version of a vscode extension now? If not that's not a problem yet. If we can I would stick with the rule to reuse the vs code extension version (i.e. latest). Related to https://github.com/eclipse/che/issues/12937
